Della Darby Turns 100 Despite Low Key Celebration
Della Bartgis Darby of Homewood Retirement Center marks her 100th birthday with quiet reflection. Born 1892 on a Poolesville farm, she recalls hard farm life, ice skating on the C&O Canal, and a long marriage to Remus Riggs Darby. She enjoyed working as a secretary at Hochschild Kohn, lived in Baltimore, and lived through much change before her husband’s 1980 death. She credits good health and faith for reaching 100 and notes she has little living family besides cousin Douglas Bowman of Middletown.
