Obituary from "The Republican," Pawnee City, NE:
"Pawnee City was saddened this week by death of Miss Alice Story, one of the few remaining pioneers of Pawnee county and a highly respected citizen of the community. Miss Story passed away at the home of a niece, Mrs. I.Z. Fletcher, southwest of Pawnee City. She had been ill for several weeks.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon. Short services for members of the family were conducted at the Fletcher home, followed by services at the United Presbyterian church, in charge of Rev. George Kerr. Interment was in the family lot in the Pawnee City cemetery.
Alice Story, daughter of Harrison and Elizabeth McClave Story, was born at Annapolis, Ohio, October 13, 1847, and passed away at the home of her niece, Mrs. I.Z. Fletcher, near Pawnee City February 20, 1939, aged 91 years, 4 months and 7 days.
When a small child she moved with her parents to Bloomington, Ind., and later to Madison, Ind., where she grew to womanhood and taught for a number of years in the public schools.
When her brothers, Albert and Walter Story, formed a law partnership in Pawnee City in 1883, she came here to make a home for them.
After their father's death in 1885 the mother and small motherless nephew, Claude Story, came to share that home. Claude's father, John C. Story, also made it his home when not engaged in his work as printer. In addition to these immediate members of the family, this home also became a haven to various nephews and nieces while in high school.
Never having a strong constitution, it seems marvelous that she could do so much for so many except in the promise, 'In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength,' Isa. 30:15. No one can ever know what she denied herself in order that some one might be made happier.
An interesting event in her life was that 70 years ago she spent a year in what then was the new state house as a guest of her sister, Mrs. David Butler.
She was a wide reader and possessed a wonderful memory to the last, which fact is attested by her remembrance of the many acquaintances she made while assistant postmistress during the '90s.
Miss Story was a member of the United Presbyterian church and the Order of the Eastern Star.
She leaves to mourn her passing two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Harriet Story and Mrs. Maude N. Story, nine nephews and eleven nieces."
