Was a dentist.
Slippery pavement was blamed Friday for the tragic and sudden death of Dr. George H. Barlow, 54 year old Sparta dentist who was almost instantly killed when his car went into the ditch on highway 16 a short distance east of Bangor at 1:40 Thursday afternoon after colliding with a truck on a turn. Dr. Harlow received a skull fracture that resulted in almost instant death. Mrs. Barlow who was riding with him, was still in a Sparta hospital Friday suffering from shock and cuts and bruises.
The Sparta dentist was driving east on highway 16, it was ascertained by the La Crosse county sheriff's department, and met the truck loaded poles at the turn near the Milton Jones farm. The car evidently skidded and after colliding with the truck went into the ditch. The truck was operated and owned by Ben Ruesch, 31, Medford, Wis., and with him was riding Harold Clemens. They were hauling the poles from Neillsville to Genoa.
In the car behind the Barlow machine was Kenneth Lloyd, 35, a United States postal employee at Sparta, his wife and mother. The Lloyd car narrowly averted a collison by going into the dictch also.
Dr. Barlow was born in Darlington, Wis. April 16, 1881. He was the son of Edward and Georgia Barlow. He was educated in the Darlington schools and gradutated from the Chicago Dental college in 1904. In the same year he opened an office in Sparta and has since been located in that city.
In 1908 he was married to Carrie Hubbell. Their one son, Curtis H. has in late years been associated with his father in the dental office. From 1906 to 1908 Dr. Barlow coached the Sparta high school football teams, winning one state championship. He was a member of the Sparta County Club, of the Masonic order and of local, state and national dental associations. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.
