LANCASTER - Samuel Bartow Sr., 95, died peacefully March 18, 2007 at the home of his longtime caregiver, Cheryl MacKillop, at 580 North Road, "The Farm", surrounded by his extended family.
Mr. Bartow was born on July 18, 1911, the youngest of four children of Rev. Howard Key Bartow and Florence (Cragin) Bartow in Cohasset, Massachusetts.
He married his wife Alma (Bird) Bartow on January 1, 1935, in Boston, MA, at the Ritz Carlton.

Family members include a son Samuel Bartow Jr. of Portland, Oregon; two daughters, Anna Key Bartow of New Haven, CT, Elizabeth Campen of Billings, Montana; 8 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife Alma and siblings Howard Jr., Mary and Katherine.
