109 YEARS OF AGE.
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. '

bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result of
a torpid liver.
"I have known and used it for years,
and can and do highly recommend it
to every one. I won't go to bed without
it in the house. It will do all It
claims to do. I can't say enough for
it."
* Many other men ana women tnrougnout
the country have found BlackDraught
