    Anecdote From Betty Dugger Bird Email, regarding the death of Minnie Ellen HILL:
    "After grandma\'s mom [Minnie Ellen Hill] died, she was \'laid out\' in the living room for a few days until a grave could be dug in the frozen ground. Grandma Hill [Mary Ward Hill] came and helped dress her and someone sat up 24 hours a day with the body. After she was buried, they all (the girls and Grandma Hill) came home and was faced with cleaning up everything where Grandma Storey been prepared for burial was laid out. Grandma said she always had horrible memories of that job."  [5

    • The Story Resource book offers their marriage date as 22 Mar 1884. However, the Howell Co Marriage book states: S. P. Story- Minnie M. Hill 23 Feb 1884, by J. W. Mustion, MG.

      The latter must be in error, as the marriage license application is dated 22 March 1884.

      It states Sam's age as 28, and Minnie's age as 14.
