Called Home
Death of
Mrs. Sarah Jane Barklow Last Night
Close of a Consistent Christian
Life, Replete with Kind Deeds and Good Works
Last
evening at 7:30 o’clock, Mrs. Sarah Jane Barklow, widow of Stout Barklow, passed
from life at the homestead, 26 East Third street. She had suffered from a
complication of ailments for two years, but she was usually up and around her
duties, and the sudden fatal termination was not looked for by her family and
friends.
At seven o’clock last evening she was more
than usually cheerful and retired in a happy frame of mind and inside of thirty
minutes the spark of life was extinct.
Deceased was
born at Cannonsburg, Greenup county, Ky., the daughter of Ezra Jeffords Sr. and
Eliza Van Bibben [sic], and came with her parents to Portsmouth, when she was
two years old, and resided here ever after. August 15, 1844, she was joined in
marriage to Stout Barklow, who became one of our most prominent citizens and
died about three years ago. Six children were born of the union, only three of
who are living, namely: William E., Margaret J. and Mrs. Agnes Roe. These three
all reside at the old homestead. Deceased was the last of a family of fourteen
children. Hon. Elza Jeffords, congressman, United States judge and well known
Southern statesman, was a brother. He died suddenly in Vicksburg, a few years
ago. Ezra Jeffords of East Eight street, and Josiah Jeffords of the West Side
are cousins of the deceased.
A peculiarity of Mrs.
Barklow’s death was the fact the its occurrence was just ten days short of her
76th birthday anniversary, while her husband died twelve days before
the 76th milestone was reached.
She was a
member of the Christian church and had been for many years. She was prominent
for piety and beloved by all for her good works and kind disposition. She
possessed a remarkable memory, and was authority upon many matters connected
with the early history of the city and county. She was of bright and cheerful
disposition, and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends. She came
of the best of pioneer stock. Her grandfather was Ezra Sherman, a relative of
General Sherman and Senator John Sherman. This was on her fathers’ side. On this
side of her mother she came from the Vanbibbers, the famous iron masters of
early Kentucky.
The funeral will take place from the
house Wednesday at two p.m. standard time. Elder George P. Taubman will conduct
the exercises.

Portsmouth Daily Times, Friday, Feb. 4, 1898
Death Claims One of the
Oldest and Most Respected Citizens.
Stout
Barklow, Well Known by Almost Everyone in the City, Died Last Night at his
Late Residence on East Third Street, after a Long Illness.
Death continues to make inroads upon our old
citizens. Another one has been called to answer the final summons, and to this
call one of our best known citizens was compelled to yield. The familiar figure
of Stout Barklow will no more be seen upon our streets. This makes sixteen of
our old citizens who have been called to the great beyond this
winter.
St. Leger Caud Stout Barklow, familiarly
known as "Stout" Barklow, died at the Barklow residence on East Third street
last night at the age of seventy-six. The deceased was born in Greenup county,
Ky., near the old Enterprise furnace, February 15th, 1829. At the age
of five his parents moved to a farm opposite Sciotoville, the residence standing
on the river bank. The flood of 1832 driving them to higher ground, a residence
was erected nearer the hill. At the age of sixteen he came to Portsmouth an
engaged in draying. Later he went into the Gaylord mill, becoming what is know
as a "shingler." He soon became an expert a this work and followed it until the
great gold excitement in California. During the days of the "Forty niners" he,
with several others, purchased teams and a general outfit at this place and
started overland for the gold fields of the far west. This at that time was a
great undertaking. About six months was required to make the journey,
encountering many hardships and dangers. He remained away about eighteen months
when he returned by vessel. During the trip he was very successful, and had he
remained he would no doubt have been one of the wealthiest men of the country.
He owned and worked claims where now stands the city of San Francisco. He had
pre-empted the land where the suburb of San Francisco, Oakland now stands. Here
he expected to make his future home, improve the land in the best style and
eventually move his family there. For some cause he thought best to come home,
arriving here in 1852. He worked in the mill again for a short time, then
returned to California, remaining there for several years, when he again
returned to this city. During the war he was engaged in boating pig iron to
Cincinnati and Louisville. He was the owner of the propellor, Brilliant, which
burned in 1871, near Louisville.
Mr. Barklow came
from Revolutionary stock. His grandmother on the paternal side was born and
raised at Princeton, New Jersey, and heard the thunder of Washington’s guns when
he routed the British. His grandfather on his mother’s side was Job Foster, a
Revolutionary soldier of considerable note.
On
August 15th, 1844, the deceased was married to Sarah Jane Jeffords.
To them six children were born, three of whom are still living – William,
Margaret Jane and Mrs. Agnes E. Roe. Mrs. Barklow also survives her husband. Mr.
Barklow as an unusually strong man physically, being six feet three and one-half
inches in height. Fourteen years of his live at different periods he has been on
the police force of this city and was noted for his courage and close attention
to duty.
The funeral services will be held at the
residence at 2 p.m., Sunday, Rev. Harp officiating.
Portsmouth Daily Times, Wednesday, Nov. 12, 1913
William
Barklow
A man, whose brave deeds and honorable
life will always remain green in the memory of his friends passed to his final
reward Wednesday morning when death claimed William Barklow, one of the city’s
best known residents. His death occurred at the family residence, 826 Third
street and followed an extended illness caused by Bright’s Disease. Mr. Barklow
was not any worse than he had been until last night when he suffered a sinking
spell which soon ended in his death.
When the
steamer Pat Rogers burned to the water’s edge in 1874 Mr. Barklow was a
passenger on the ill fated craft. At the risk of his own life he remained on the
boat and saved many lives. So intent was he in saving his friends that he failed
to realize that his own life was imperiled. He was compelled to leap into the
river and swim ashore. Fifty persons lost their lives in the burning of this
steamer and many of the older residents will recall with vividness the horror
attending this holocaust. Mr. Barklow had $600 on currency on his person when he
jumped into the river as the voracious flames closed in on him. The money was
water-soaked but it was saved. He performed yeoman service in this tragic event
and friends of Mr. Barklow always insisted that he saved no less than twenty
lives in this awful disaster.
Mr. Barklow was born
in Portsmouth in 1847. He had never entered the state of matrimony. For the past
seven years he had led a retired life. Prior to this he was for many years
engaged in the coal business. He was a life long Democrat and always evinced
much interest in the welfare of his party. He is survived by two sisters, Miss
Margaret Barklow and Mrs. Agnes Roe, who are at
home.
Mr. Barklow was a splendid, straightforward
citizen. He was a man who practiced honesty in his every day life and his taking
off will be deeply regretted.
The funeral services
will be conducted from the home Friday afternoon at 2:30 by the Rev. C. S.
Brooks and interment will be made in Greenlawn.
