Kent Pioneer Celebrates Anniversary. Courtright, Oct. 17 - Mrs. Hester Kerby, widow of Nelson Kerby, celebrated her 91st birthday on Sunday. Mrs. Kerby, whose maiden name was Sheply, was born near Chatham, in Buxton, Raleigh Township, and experienced those hardships and sometimes amusing incidents which all the sturdy pioneers of Canada endured.

For the past two years she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Calgan, in Toronto, who at present is spending a few weeks here with her mother.
Mrs. Kerby always took a keen interest in her home and flowers, and is a staunch member of the United church. On Sunday she attended the morning service in the church. She has two sons and a daughter, Dr. G. W. Kerby, principal of Mount Royal College, Calgary, Mrs. T. N. Calgon, Toronto, and John, of North Bay.
