About Kirby Hardware
The Kirby Hardware Co., formerly the Orleans Lumber Co., was organized in January 1953 with Russell and Berniece Fancher holding controlling interest, and Nellie M. Kirby as a limited partner. The store employees were Joe Bradley and Orley Bowman. Later in 1976, Joe Bradley bought the hardware. After his passing, he left the hardware to his daughter Betsi Bradley Sanders and her husband. Robert Finley has been employed at Kirby's since 1969.
