In 1870 they settled in Craftsbury and Mrs.
Story Immediately united with the CoDg'l
church in that place, where she at once
became power for good. While associated
| with the regular women's societies and
joining heartily in their activities, she
taught class in the Sunday school and
organized the younger women and girls
| into society called The Earnest Workers,
which still exists and is as it always has
been power for good in the church and
the community. Ofthis society Mrs. Story
was the president for many years and she
was its guide and inspiration as long as her
| health permitted her to be active in such
work. Many who have been at some time
members of that society, scattered now
from Maine to California, will hear of the
death OF their constant friend and helper
with much sorrow and regret. Sae was an
active worker in the W. G. T. U. and was
president of the local union for several
years. When Mrs. Story's health would
no longer permit her to endure the care of
the work on the farm, she and her husband
went to North Troy SO as to be near a sis
ter, Mrs. Martin, who then resided there.
There she Immediately identified herself
with church work so far as she was able.
She formed ladies' class in the Sunday
school and taught them until her health
failed. She also organized a Missionary
Society and ladies' prayer meeting which
are still in a fourishing condition. She
moved to Barton in November, 1903, where
she was cared for during her last illness by
her sisters, Mrs. N. D. Martin and Mrs. A.
L. Smead. She died Feb. 25, 1904, survived
by her hus band, A. z. Story, one brother,
Scion Jackson OF New Haven, two sisters,
Mrs. Amy Smead and Mrs. n. D. Martin,
and two nieces, Miss Elsie Smead and Mrs.
