Elias Story

One of Bedford Township's Most Substantial and Respected Citizens Dead

In the death of Elias Story Bedford township loses one of its most
substantial and respected citizens.  Years ago he spend several years
in the then wilds of what is now the state of Montana and brought back
with him a competence to which he has added by industry and careful
management.

He was married three times.  His first wife being Catherine Beaty, who
died many years ago.  To this union was born one son Elias, Jr. who
died while on a trip to Honolulu for his health and after amassing a
considerable fortune.

Mr. Story's second wife was Lucy Carper.  She died some years ago
leaving two daughters, Desty, now Mrs. R. F. Perry, of Flora, Ohio and
Nora, now Mrs. A. C. Roecher of Bozeman, MT.

Several years ago he married a Mrs. Blackwood, who survives him.

Mr. Story had passed the 77th milestone of life.  He has not been in
robust health for some years but had not ceased his active habits of
life and was stricken down while out about his daily duties by dread
paralysis.

His funeral took place Tuesday at Burlingham, conducted by Elder M. A.
Harvey and his mortal remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at
that place.
