  Notes	Cheshire The community was shocked when the word went out Saturday that HA Kirby had passed away. He had been a sufferer for many years with kidney trouble but was so very ambitious that he never gave up until almost the last moment. He was a fine man with no enemies and hosts of friends. His funeral was held at the Baptist church Monday forenoon by Rev Hickman. The Masons had charge and carried out the beautiful ceremonies and rites of that order most impressively. The Eastern Star of which he was a member marched in a body after and eight of the officers acted as pall bearers and with the me_ draped their flowers representing the colors of his order in his grave as a tribute of the respect and love which they bore him. Those in attendance at his funeral from a distance were Mr Wade and Mr Thacker and family of Clifton Forge, VA. , Mrs Cameron, Athens, Ohio, Mr Al Coughenour and family of Vinton, Mr Emery Coughenour of Huntington, Mr Charles Yeauger of Gallipolis, Mr Basserer of Middleport and others whose names we did not learn. Mrs Kirby's wife and son Briggs have the sympathy of all in their sorrow.
