Robert H. Story
Robert Hart Story
1910–1959
BIRTH 14 APR 1910 • Maywood, Cook County, Illinois, USA
DEATH 13 JAN 1959 • Oceola, Livingston, Michigan, USA
Bob graduated from Paw Paw High. He attended Michigan State, completing a program in Agriculture, taking a position at a Hartford, Connecticut dairy, returning to Michigan with illness. Then, he worked at Earl Cornell's farm in Howell, where he met Gertrude Street, and shortly thereafter married her on Oct. 25, 1935. They had Corinne Julia, followed by Frances Beulah, Alice Gertrude and Marian Lee. He worked on and rented various farms and drove a milk route. He liked to sing "When you and I were young, Maggie", "In the Garden", "You're a Grand Old Flag", "Oh my Darling Clementine." He taught his daughter Corinne to drive the Model A and rake hay, using horses, later to milk cows. His father died when he was only 34, and his work was heart on the back, but he loved his children and was easy-going.
Bob liked to read devotions and pray daily while kneeling. He was raised a Baptist becoming a Nazarene. In 1948, Richard Harry was born. To celebrate Bob drove the milk truck around to his friends and poured a cup of fresh cider. On Feb. 1, 1951, another boy, Robert was born—double the luck! In March of 1950, the Storys rented a 200 acre farm on the Eager Rd. and used a tractor. On Bob and Gertrude's 24th and final anniversary they went to Greenfield village to celebrate.
On Jan.13, 1959, Bob was working alone putting bundles of corn on a conveyor from the wagon, he wired down the safety that prevented the loading table from shutting off when his weight left the metal table. He was wearing a new denim jacket with the strap on the arm to prevent cold air or debris from getting into his sleeve. He had on new bib overalls. He slipped on the frosty table the conveyor grabbed the sleeve strap; the machine pulled his arm into the chopper and strangled him with his bib overalls. Rick age 10, arrived home from school and went out to help Bob, but no help would revive him. He went to be with the Lord, and his mother Lucy survived him, along with his wife and kids and several grandchildren.
