Daniel Brooks Barlow ’28

The class was saddened to learn of the death of Brooks Barlow on Oct. 2, 1996. Brooks grew up in Germantown, Pa., where he attended Germantown Academy. At Princeton he majored in electrical engineering and was a member of Arbor Inn. In 1928 he married Helen Kuhn, of Chestnut Hill, who survives him. They had two daughters, Sally Briggs and Nancy James, and a son, Jacob '58. There are 10 grandchildren (one is Class of '79) and seven greatgrandchildren.

Until WWII, they lived in Germantown, where Brooks had various jobs, and during which time he became a life member of the Union League of Philadelphia. During the war he was a "Buck Sergeant" in the Air Force, stationed at Lowry Field, Colo.

After the war they moved to Chattanooga, Tenn., where he went to work in the family firm of Standard, Coosa, Thatcher, a cotton spinning and yarn company of which he was secretary/treasurer when he retired in 1969. While in Tennessee he and his wife had a cabin on Lake Chickamauga, where they enjoyed boating and where photography became an interest.

Upon retirement they returned to Chestnut Hill. Brooks never missed Princeton reunions and was several times chairman of offyear reunions. He will be sorely missed. The members of the class extend their deep sympathy to Helen and the children.
