[Scott County]  [Georgetown City and Precinct]

DR. WILLIAM H. BARLOW; Georgetown; was born in Scott County, Ky., Sept. 13,
1809.  He is of Virginia parentage.  His father, Thomas H. Barlow, was a
substantial farmer.  Susannah (Isbel) Barlow was his mother.  His father was
a particular Baptist; his death occurred in 1825.  The subject of his
sketch was educated in the Rittenhouse Academy, which afterward became the
Georgetown College.  He began the study of medicine at the age of sixteen,
with Dr. Alexander C. Keene, of Georgetown, continuing three years.  In
1827 he began the practice of his profession in Georgetown, where he has
since practiced, in all forty-five years.  During the years 1820-30 he was
located at Florence, Ky., and from 1832 to 1836 was in Williamstown, Ky.
Dr. Barlow is a vegetarian, not having tasted a particle of animal food
for thirty-seven years, to which fact he attributes his good health, never
having had a headache in his life, and having been confined by five day in
his life-time.  He has practiced fifty-four years in regular practice,
being busy night and day.  He never refused to go on account of poverty of
both black and white, and to the poor gave his medicine.  He has been in
attendance at four thousand births.  In 1881 he retired, feeling that he
had done enough actual labor for one life-time.  Dr. Henry Craig was a
fellow student of his at college, and in the office Dr. Keene; he was his
contemporary in practice.  Dr. Barlow has made a study of literature,
being familiar with French; he has a large collection of medical works in
that language.  He has collected a large library of several hundred
standard works, with which he is perfectly familiar.  In 1827 he married
Miss Louisa Allgaier, of Cincinnati, Ohio.  They raised nine children,
three of whom are still living, viz: Feresa V., wife of Frank A. Lyon,
of Lexington, Capt. E. C. Barlow, of Ouida, now Mrs. Harry S. Orr, of
Georgetown.  Dr. Barlow's father brought the first race horse to the
county; it was Lamplighter.  He kept a stallion and bred blooded horses,
but was never on the turf.
