The family returned to Bountiful in 1889, where he graduated from the eighth grade. He spent 18 months at L. D. S. College, Salt Lake City.

Nellie had been employed as

Bountiful choir and taught classes in Sunday School.
Truman and Nellie made their home in Bountiful until March 1903, when they moved to Iona, Idaho.

Also served on High Council and, 3 September :1913, he was appointed bishop of Iona Ward by Elder David O. McKay. During the six years of service he organized branches of the ward at Ozone and Twin Creeks. These summer-time branches accommodated families living in Idaho Falls during the winter, and on their dry farms in the summer time.
In the early years of his residence in Iona, Truman Barlow was engaged in general farming and in raising sugar beets. Was awarded a prize in 1904 for the largest tonnage of beets on a fifty acre tract. Per acre average was 20 tons. Also grew hay, clover seed, oats, wheat, potatoes, etc. He operated two bands of sheep on the range, 1500 head each, and Ought and fattened several thousand sheep each year.
During these busy years, Truman Barlow assisted in the organization of the Idaho Falls Bonded Warehouse, and also the Utah-Idaho Potato Growers Assn.-a firm which shipped, dehydrated, and processed potatoes Was also a director in the Iona Mercantile Co., and a one-third owner in the sheep shearing business on Canyon Creek. He was a member of the committee which organized the Grazing Assn. under the Idaho Wool Growers Assn. in upper Snake River Valley. He represented this Company at a convention of National Wool Growers Assn. in Denver. In spite of these heavy responsibilities Mr. Barlow also served many 'ears as precinct chairman of the Republican Party in Iona. While the family lived in Iona, Nellie Rampton Barlow served as Second counselor in the presidency of the stake Primary Board.
During this time, 1913 to 1923, he served as Agricultural Supt. for Utah-Idaho Sugar Co. He leased and operated several farms for this company, and also managed a project in cattle and sheep feeding on beets and factory bi-products. During this time the Sugar Co. bought the Ogood property west and north of Idaho Falls-a tract of 10,000 acres. Mr. Barlow secured tenants for the farms on this property and assisted in the operation.
In 1924 Mr. Barlow and family moved to Pocatello, where their children could have favorable schooling and where Truman C. could continue farm work. In 1928 he moved to Blackfoot where he again became Agricultural Supt. for Utah-Idaho Sugar Co.
