Newspaper Obituary
Whitnel Man’s
Funeral Held

   Funeral services for Colonel M. Storie, 57, Whitnel resident, were 
conducted at Laurel Fork Baptist church in Watauga county at two o’clock this 
afternoon.  Burial was in the church cemetery.
   He was found dead in a creek near a culvert in the Whitnel section on 
Saturday morning.  An autopsy revealed that he died of drowning when he fell 
fro the top of the culvert to the rocky creek bed, a distance of about 15 feet.
   Coroner Marshall Kincaid said the autopsy indicated the man probably was 
rendered unconscious when his head struck rocks in the creek bed.  The head 
was partially under water.
   Storie also had an injury to the liver, Dr. John Reece, Morganton 
pathologist, reported after making the autopsy.
   A native of Watauga county, he was the son of the late George and Sarah 
(Storie) Storie.
   Surviving are two sons, Romie Glenn Store of the U. S. Army in Korea, and 
Wayne Edward Storie of Lenoir; five daughters, Mrs. Lee Teague and Mrs. Tom 
Winkler, both of Lenoir; Mrs. Alvin Freeman of Hudson, Mrs. Thad Miller of  
Charlotte and Mrs. John Gentry of Spruce Pine; three brothers, Milton Storie 
of Lenoir, and J. C. and Collex Storie, both of Blowing Rock; a sister, Mrs. 
Maude Crow of Lenoir; and 20 grandchildren.
