From "The History of North Washington" Published 1904 Transcribed by: Nancy Grubb (nancyg@theofficenet.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERRY D. STORY Perry D. Story is one of the promising young men of Stevens county, who can claim the distinction of having been born in the fertile Colville valley. The date of this event was May 5,1884,and the place Chewelah. Joshua and Rhoda (Lucas) Story, prominent people of the Colville valley,who are specifically mentioned in another portion of this volume,are the parents of our subject. Perry D. has five brothers and sisters:Edith,deceased;Ada, deceased;Mathew,Herbert,and J.W. The common and high schools of Chewelah are the scene of young Story's early studies. After completing his education he secured a diploma for teaching,but never gave attention thereto.He continued with his father until 1902,and then with his brother and cousin,both of whom are especially mentioned elsewhere in this volume. Our subject engaged in the sawmilling business. He was a practical sawmill man,having had much experience with his father,who was a skilled manufacturer of lumber. A good success is rewarding the labors and skill of Mr.Story and he bids fair to be one of the leading men of industry in Stevens county. Fraternally he is affiliated with the M.W.A. in Chewelah and is a popular young man. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, material may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material, AND permission is obtained from the contributor of the file.
