Nettie was the oldest surviving daughter of Sylvester Moss and Malinda "Dallia" (Hodges) Ash. She married Delos Wesley Story in 1903 in Morgan County, Illinois. They had two daughters: Lolita Story Martin and Opal Story Rees.
Nettie had a sharp intellect and wide-ranging interests. She served several terms as Justice of the Peace for Roodhouse Township, continuing in the job after it was renamed "Township Auditor". Political news and the business of government intrigued her. She had a delightful running "feud" with her Democratic brother-in-law, Township Clerk Cal Spencer, which included exchanging barbs, political cartoons, anything either of them could come across to share with the other.
She taught a Sunday School class for adult women for more than 20 years, and continued studying the Bible and various interpretations of it for the rest of her life.
She was known as an outstanding player of the card game "Bridge" and enjoyed it to the end of her life. She often would invite three friends over for an afternoon or evening game - which she usually won. The refreshments at those events always included her homemade pie, which earned praise from all lucky enough to taste it.
Above all, she was the most wonderful and beloved grandmother who ever walked the face of our Earth. We think of her and miss her every day of our lives.
