Barlow Henderson ’26

BARLOW HENDERSON, wellknown citizen of Nashville, died at the age of 87 in his home, Aug. 23, 1992, after a short illness. A native of Aiken, S.C., Barlow came to Princeton from Episcopal H.S., Alexandria, Va. He had many friends in the Class and will be remembered 'or his quiet humor, his distinguished bearing, and as a gentleman of the South. An excellent debater, Barlow was active in Whig Hall, of which he was secretary in our junior year. He was also secretary of Quadrangle Club.

Following graduation, Barlow worked with an investment banking firm in New York. In 1933, he went to Washington to work for the Public Works Administration as a finance examiner passing upon municipal and state applications for loans and grants involving public works. With that experience behind him, in 1937 Barlow joined Equitable Securities Corp., in Nashville, specializing in municipal bonds. Barlow was later recognized as one partially responsible for making Equitable one of the leaders in its field. He served with the Navy in WWII and commanded a landing transport in the capture of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and in the occupation of Japan. He retired in 1946 with the rank of commander, U.S.N.R.

A lifelong Episcopalian, Barlow served his church in various ways. He was noted for his philanthropy; a wing of a building at Episcopal High was named for him.

We join Barlow's many friends in missing him. We extend our sympathy to his niece Rosetta Miller, who survives.
