Story City.

Mr. F. B. Wellington died last Sunday evening of heart failure following an attack of the prevailing disease, la grippe. Mr. Wellington was over 81 years of age and has lived here with his wive, who survives him, some eight years, since moving from New York state. He will be missed in this community where he is so well known and his cheery face and pleasant sayings so familiar. Three of his children live here at present, Mrs. W. A. Wier, Mrs. J. Blakeslee and J. A. Wellington....
