Donald Charles Barlow (1914-2001) was born in Hudson, Ohio on the Case-Barlow farm to parents Henry Case Barlow (1885-1958) and Isabel Sackett Barlow (1888-1964). Donald had two brothers, Franklin Sackett (1912-1996) and Harold Edmund Barlow (1914-2002). In 1933 he graduated from Hudson High School. After high school, Donald helped out on the family farm.
