George Kirby is a native of the State of Massachusetts, was born in Berkshire county in 1806 and came to Detroit in 1838. He has witnessed the growth of Detroit from a population of 8,000 to 255,000. During all this time, until within a few years past, he has been identified with the leather interests of the city, and actively engaged in promoting material improvements and enterprises which have tended to make Detroit what it is to-day.
