| Notes |
- (Notes of Kirby Courts:)
Kirby was named for John Henry Kirby, the lumber tycoon, his father's friend. He was a World War I Veteran with General Pershing in France. Kirby inhaled mustard gas in France during the fighting of 118. The Army doctors told him if he were to catch a cold, it would kill him. Kirby died from pneumonia in 1932. His brother James named two of his sons after him, James Kirby and Charles Edward. My dad, Coley, told me that as sick as Kirby was, upon returning to New York from France - the Army gave them a 20-dollar gold piece, an oil skin slicker, and "your country thanks you" - he walked and hitched rides to Beaumont, Texas (almost two months to get home.)
