In Spite of Advanced Years She Walks Without Assistance of Any Kind. 0 Union, Jan. 22.?Mrs. Susan Kirby celebrated her 109th birthday anniversary Thursday, January 20, when she was the honored guest at quite an elaborate dinner party given in the western part of this city. Mrs. Kirby, in spite of her very ad( vanced age, is both mentally and physically exceptionally alert, and thoroughly enjoyed the party given in her honor, which was attended by thirty or more relatives and friends, while there were numerous callers during the day, who came to express their best wishes that she would have still many more happy birthdays. Mrs. Kirby during her long life has seen marvelous changes in the development of this section of the south, for in her childhood days she rode in a wagon drawn by oxen, and in the course of conversation with a representative of this paper who called to express birthday greetings she told of how on one occasion when she was a little girl she, with two of her little sisters, accompanied a relative in an ox-drawn wagon, and when crossing Green river, in North Carolina, the flat boat overturned and the wagon and contents, including the cherished family Bible, with all the family records in it, were lost in the river. Mrs. Kirby has lived through and remembers many wars in which the United States engaged, among them being the Indian war, when she was a young girl; the Mexican war of 1846, vthe War Between the States in 1861, 65, the Spanish-American war of 1898 and the world war, which ended in 1918. While she lived during the war of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain, she was an infant then, and, of course, does not recall it, except what she heard her people talk about. Mrs. Kirby was born in Rutherfordton, N. C., on January 20, 1812, and was a daughter of William and t Mary Constance. In the early 50s she ' was united in marriage to J. M. Kirby, who was born and raised in Spartanburg count.., the nuptial vows being taken before Justice of the Peace Cephas Tolleson, and of this union eleven children were born, five of whom are still living, these being T. C. Kirby, Glendale; M. G. Kirby, Beaumont Mills, Spartanburg; J. M. Kirby, Union Mills, Union; Mrs. Sallie McAbee, Converse, and W. H. Kirby, Union Mills, Union. She has had twenty-one grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. Her husband who served in the Confederate army, died in 1887. For ninety-five years Mrs. Kirby has been a loyal member of the Methodist church and is of a deeply religious nature, she having told the newspaper man when he visited her that it ' was a great desire of her life that all her "folks" and friends should so live that after they died there would be I "An unbroken circle in Heaven." The last public service Mrs. Kirby has ' been able to attend was on Mother's f Day last year, when she was an honored guest at the special service at Green Street Methodist church, of which the Rev. J. B. Chick is pastor, he in turn being one of the honored guests at the dinner party given in celebration of Mrs. Kirby's 109tb birthday. vMrs. Kirby is a woman of medium build and, though so advanced in years, walks about unassisted with remarkably steady step. Her mind is very clear and she talks interestingly of many things that have occurred during her long life, and up to two years ago, when she had influenza, her eyesight was wonderfully good. Mrs. Kirby seems quite well and hopes to enjoy still many more years with her family on earth. The deaths of Horace E. Dodge and John F. Dodge, brothers and owners of the automobile plant bearing their name, places two girls at the head of the mammoth plant which employs 'more than 18,000 persons. The girls, Miss Isabel Dodge and Mrs. James Cromwell, are cousins, and the responsibility of operating the plant falls upon their shoulders. A big laugh is going the rounds at ! the expense of a certain painless denj tist. Seems a colored woman who | had been suffering for some time fin- < I ally got up courage enough to go to 1 this dentist to have the aching tooth extracted. But the minute he touched 1 ; j the tooth Dinah began to roar. 1 j "What are you making such a noise | about? Don't you know I'm a pain- , less dentist?" demanded that worthy as he hastily closed the windows. i "Mebbe you is, but I ain't," howled Dinah.
