BARVES waring for 5. Bam 2k who Rating Up print was built through the place in 1870, and the station was named for Wil. liam Barlow. For additional information about the Barlow family, see article by Fred Lockley, editorial page of the Oregon Journal, December 24, 1937.
BARLOW CREEK, Hood River and Wasco counties. This stream bears the name of Samuel K. Barlow, the builder of Barlow Road. See under
BARLOW Road heading for additional information. The Barlow Road followed along Barlow Creek between White River and Barlow Pass. For discussion of the use of the name Zigzag, describing this creek, See OHQ, volume XIX, page 75. The early use of the name Zigzag instead of Barlow for this stream seems to the compiler improbable.
BARLOW ROAD, Clackamas and Wasco counties. The Barlow Road was named for Samuel Kimbrough Barlow, a pioneer of 1845, who developed the first made road in the state of Oregon. For a description of the difficulties the Barlows had getting over the Cascade Range on what was later the Barlow Road, see OHQ, volume XIII, page 240. For a history of the road itself, see ibid., page 287. For story about the road and a map, see Sunday Oregonian, magazine section, May 29, 1938. Barlow started the work when he came over with the emigration, and finished it the following year. From the summit of the Cascade Range westward to Sandy the Mount Hood Loop Highway is in substantially the same location as the Barlow Road, though modern engineering has solved some of Samuel K. Barlow's greatest difficulties. East of the summit the Barlow Road has been in disuse for many years for a considerable distance down the eastern slope, especially where it traversed the canyon of White River. The Oak Grove Road from Salmon River Meadows to Wapinitia was not a part of the original Barlow Road, though frequently spoken of as such. On July 27, 1925, a memorial tablet was dedicated to Samuel Kimbrough Barlow at a point on the Mount Hood Loop Highway just east of Government Camp. This tablet, which is on a large boulder, was unveiled in 1923 but could not be put in place then owing to difficulties over the title to the site. On the same boulder is another tablet dedicated to Susannah Lee Barlow, wife of S. K. Barlow. Samuel K. Barlow was born in Nicholas County, Kentucky, on January 24, 1792. He died at Canemah, Oregon, July 14, 1867, and is buried beside his wife at Barlow.
BARNEGAT, Tillamook County. Barnegat is one of Oregon's ghost post offices, although the name is still used occasionally to refer to a locality on the narrow neck of land south of Bayocean. In September, 1943, O. K. Tittle of Tillamook wrote the compiler that Barnegat post office was first situated about two miles south of the place where the Bayocean Hotel was built later. The office was established at the instigation of A. B. Hallock, who was the first postmaster. When Hallock died October 30, 1892, the office was moved a mile south to the Bert Biggs place and was operated by Mrs. Biggs, who was a daughter of Webley Hauxhurst. It is said that Hallock named Barnegat for his former home on the Atlantic Coast. The only Barnegat on the Atlantic Coast is of course Barnegat Bay, a well-known inlet on the shore of New Jersey north of Atlantic City. However, the biographer of Hallock in the files of the Oregon Historical Society fails to show that he ever lived close to the Atlantic Ocean. In 1929 H. C. Sutherland of Portland told the compiler that his father, Thomas A. Sutherland, went shooting on Tillamook Bay in the '70s and named Barnegat Bay, Tillamook County, because of simsaras pa putable mis L.) i lapte 2. child na mea 21 10 ) Bland
