Attorney and member of the firm of Grass & Storey, of Fontanelle, is a native of Armstrong county, Pennsylvania, and was born April 13, 1851. He is the son of Thomas B. and Margaret (Mossgrove) Storey, who still live in Pennsylvania. He attended the common schools of his native county, and assisted in farming until he had reached the age of seventeen years, when he had progressed so far in his studies that he was himself competent to teach school, and was readily able to obtain employment at this occupation. He commenced a college course at Washington and Jefferson college, Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1871, and graduated in 1874, taking the second honors in his class, he having taken the classical course. After leaving college, he taught school until the summer of 1875. In the meantime he had been reading law since 1873 with his uncle, Jackson Boggs, and so continued till the fall of 1875, when he came to Iowa, and located in Greenfield, this county. He made rapid progress in his legal studies, and was admitted to the bar in the spring of 1876 by Judge Leonard. As he came to this country with no capital but his natural abilities, a strong will, and a determination to make the most of circumstances, Mr. Storey has had to improve all his opportunities, and rely solely on his own resources, and hence his acquirement of property and honors is all the more creditable. He was chosen by the people of the twenty-fourth representative district in 1883 to represent them in the general assembly of the state, and has given entire satisfaction to, and reflected credit upon, his constituents. He was married May 18, 1876, to Miss Miranda Hayes, daughter of Marshall Hayes, of Washington, Pennsylvania, who departed this life at Greenfield, October 25, 1881. He has two daughters--Miranda M. and Ethel. He is a Mason, Knight Templar, and member of the I. O. O. F., and the Iowa legion of honor. He is a member of the Presbyterian church, and holds the position of superintendent in the M. E. Sunday-school. Mr. Storey is one of the successful men of his profession, and enjoys the respect of the entire community.
