Taken from Ithaca, Michigan newspaper clipping dated August 6, 1942, found
inside Story family Bible at residence of Mrs. Albert Howland, Neosho, MO
in April, 1977:
"94 YEAR OLD WHEELER RESIDENT DEAD--Valentine Story was born April 19,
1848, in the city of Spire, state of Bavaria, on the River Rhine, Germany.
At the age of 18 he came to this country; in 1868 he returned to Germany
remaining only a few months, when he again came to this country settling in
Michigan where he followed the lumbering business for a number of years.
In 1877 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Artz of Waterloo, Jackson
county, Michigan. To this union were born seven children. He settled in
the community of Wheeler about 63 years ago and was one of the oldest
pioneers. He helped lay the railway between Saginaw and St. Louis which
was the farthest point west it ran at that time. He cleared the farm a
half mile south of Wheeler on which he lived the last 53 years. He was a
highly respected, hard-working citizen. He was confirmed in the Lutheran
church at the age of 14. He is survived by three sons, Fred of St. Louis,
John and Frank of Wheeler; 2 daughters, Mrs. Lewis Peacock of St. Louis and
Mrs. Harry Cooklin of Shepherd; 17 grandchildren and 17
great-grandchildren. His wife preceded him in death 22 years ago, also 2
sons, George and Will, and 2 grandchildren, Robert and Katherine. He
departed this life July 30, 1942, age 94 years, 3 months, and 11 days.
'Earth to earth, and dust to dust, Calmly now the words we say; Father, in
Thy gracious keeping Leave me now, Thy servant sleeping.'"
