Caleb Storey, as the name was originally spelled by his ancestors, was born in Guilford County, North Carolina, and was educated in the common schools. He was reared to agricultural pursuits in his native state, and there passed his life until he reached mature years, when he came to Indiana, and in 1849 purchased eighty acres of wild land in Wabash County, on which was a little log cabin. Indians were numerous in the neighborhood and deer abundant in the surrounding forest, while wolves and other wild beasts were not at all scarce. but Mr. Story succeeded in developing a fertile farm from this wilderness and managed to live comfortably and happily. In politics Mr. Story was a Jeffersonian Democrat, in religion a Universalist, and in that belief he passed away at the age of seventy-eight years.
