One of the founders of Coronado Beach California
When Hampton Lovegrove Story was born on June 17, 1835, in Cambridge, Vermont, his father, Andrew, was 39 and his mother, Adaline, was 32. He married Marion Lydia Fuller and they had three children together. He then married Adella Beatrice Ellis and they had two children together. He died on October 6, 1925, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 90, and was buried in Glendale, California.
A native of Cambridge, Vermont, Hampton L. Story (1835-1925) published sheet music in the 1860s to promote his College Street music store and piano factory, Story & Powers. He later founded the Story & Clark piano company in Chicago, Illinois. While in Burlington, he published at least 37 vocal and instrumental scores, including the 1868 piece Chick-A-Dee Waltz by Edward M. Read.
On December 19th, 1885, Babcock, Story and Jacob Gruendike, president of the First National Bank of San Diego, bought all of Coronado and North Island for $110,000.
In early 1886, Rand McNally published a 24-page prospectus or real estate ad, if you will, titled "Coronado Beach. San Diego, California." The first page reads: "The Coronado Beach Company has been organized with a capital of One Million Dollars, and with the following subsidiary companies."
Listed as directors were Babcock, president, Story, vice-president and Jacob Gruendike. Also involved with the company by now were three men from Indiana, Josephus Collett, Heber Ingle and John Inglehart. Inglehart, a miller, later became famous through the development of Swansdown flour.
