WILLIAM C. STORER
. from "History of Cleveland" ca 1890-95
Williarn C. Storer received a common school education in Cleveland and
at the same time learned to be a draughts man and contractor under his
father, being an expert in draughting. He became one of the most successful
contractors in the city
and pursued a profitable business until 1900, when he retired to private
life. While a republican in politics, he has never taken an active part
in public affairs.>
On December 18, 1856, Mr. Storer married Hannah Johnson, a daughter
of John D. Johnson and Margaret Robinson Johnson, of Canada. Mr.
and Mrs.Storer celebrated their
golden wedding nearly three years ago, on December 18, 1906,
a most memorable occasion to all parties concerned. The children born
to them are Mrs. Josephine Collins, Mrs. Lydia Hatcher, Webster J. and
Cornelia E. Storer
.
Mr. Storer is a member of the Old Settlers Association and is
one of the best known among those belonging to pioneer families here. Having
spent his life in this city and assisted in the construction of some of
its most imposing buildings, he has
been a witness of and participant in its rapid and remarkable growth
and enjoys nothing better than to recall the Cleveland of olden days to
those interested in the subject.
