son of Joshua and Rhoda (Lucas)Story,natives of Canada and Kansas,
respectively. The father came first from Canada to Kansas and then in 
1882 settled in Srevens county,where he now lives.A more extended mention 
of him will be found elsewhere in this work.Our subject has the following 
brothers ans sisters:Edith and Ada,deceased;Perry, Mathew and Herbert. From 
the schools in Chewelah John W. received hiseducation and at the age of 
nineteen he assumed the responsibilities of life. In 1902 Mr.Story 
associated himself with Claud Stolp and together they erected a fine 
sawmill plant about a mile north of Chewelah,and since the completion 
of the mill they have done a good business in the manufacture of lumber and
lumber product. They have two hundred acres of good timber land adjacent to
