At the expiration of q period of
eighteen months in the factory, he

lin passenger station. In mentioning

rected to the fact that, on coming to
Kensington, Mr.. kilbys entire cash
capital consisted Of three dollars and
the fact that, within two and a half
years, he was able to undertake an
enterprise OF this sort speaks volumes
for his industry sobriety and econ

manned in charge of the original Kill

such skill that in 1892 he erected a
new I<ilby House on the line OF the

severance and integrity he has ac-
cumulated a comfortable competence

not alone in Kensington but about the
state. In addition to his hotel prop
erty, he owns nine buildings In Ken
sington, besides several business
buildings. known as kilbys corners,
