Albert S. Kibby, former city official and for many years prominently associated with the manufacturing and industrial like of the city, died at his home, 1923 North Second street his morning at 5:20 a.m., following an illness which has lasted since late summer. The cause of death was a cancer of the stomach, which defied all attempts both medical and surgical to bring relief.
For the last week it has been know to friends and members of the family that there could be no recovery and how the invalid fought off the ravages of the disease as long as he did was something of a wonder to those who knew his condition. During the late summer and prior to the death of his son, Clarence, Mr. Kibby had been in rather poor health. Of an uncomplaining disposition he refused to worry his family with his health. Early in September he became ill and resorted to medical aid. Later he was taken to the Methodist hospital in Des Moines where an operation was performed.
This operation resulted in the knowledge that practically nothing could be done for Mr. Kibby and that death would be the only release from his suffering. He fought the disease bravely and with a spirit that refused to be conquered even with death hovering.

Members of the City Council Attend the Last Rites in a Body
The funeral service for Albert S. Kibby, prominent Perry citizen and one of its leading manufacturers was held Saturday afternoon at two o'clock in the Congregational church conducted by the pastor, Rev. Peter Jacobs, assisted by Rev A.J. Kamman of the Presbyterian church and Rev. Chas. M. Edmondson of the Methodist church. A mixed quartet, H.C. Modlin, C.D. Bessmer, Mrs. C. E. Marshall and Mrs. Levi Swanson sang, "The Old Rugged Cross:, "Onward Christian Soldiers," Going Down the Valley", three hymns that had been selected by Mr. Kibby. Mrs. George Stevenson was organist. Rev Jacobs selected for his text "The Unfinished: as indicated in the words found in Matt. 5:17. The death of the son, Clarence Kibby, in July at the age of fourteen and the death of the father at the age of fifty-two suggested how unfinished life is here. He touched upon the home, companionship, fatherhood, brotherhood, intellect, character and faith. The great Book teaches that this life is not all. The continued life of the spirit is assured us through the ministry of Christ.
Mr. Kibby was a member of the city council at two different periods. The mayor and the council attended the service in a body paying tribute thus to one who once shared the same public responsibilities. The church was filled with relatives and friends. The many beautiful floral tributes were a testimony of the high esteem in which Mr. Kibby was held.
Casket bearers were made up of friends who had been close associates of Mr. Kibby throughout his life.
