Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, February 15, 1906
Death of Mr. J. F. Irby.
  Mr. James F. Irby died yesterday afternoon at his home on St. Francis 
Street, after an illness of only a few days. He was a valued employee 
of the D. R. Dunlap Mercantile Company, having represented them on the 
road for many years. He was highly respected as a business man, and was 
known to possess all the qualities of a high toned Christian gentleman. 
His death will be a source of regret to his many friends throughout the 
entire state, especially in that territory with which he has been so 
long identified.
  His remains have been taken to the residence of Mr. D. W. Burgett, 
777 Montauk Avenue.
 - Mobile Register of 10th.

  Wherever known best, Jim Irby's death will be regretted most. He was 
a man of sterling integrity. He was rigidly honest in thought and 
action. No man had truer friends than he did. The admirable traits of 
character shown in the general walks of life, won for him, the respect 
and confidence of his fellow-man. Mr. Irby was from this county, and 
lived here from his childhood days, until he cast his lot with the 
commercial interests of the Gulf City. He leaves a brother and other 
relatives in this county who together with many warm friends moan his 
death, and sympathize with his bereaved family.
  The reward promised to those who are faithful to the end, will be 
his.
