Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Telephone, October 6, 1925, p. 1. This is a happy day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Benjamin Kirby, 809 Hunter avenue, the occasion being the celebration of the 50th wedding anniversary of these two good people, and they are being called upon by many friends. The two are receiving just informally from 2:30 to 5 and from 7 to 10:30, and they have all their children and grand children with them for the event. Light refreshments were being served and autumn flowers beautify the Kirby home. An interesting incident is a glass cake stand on the center of the table, a wedding gift of a half century age.
