He entered the regiment in 1895 as a private and when he completed his course had risen to the commissioned ranks. In the North he joined the 23rd Northern Fusiliers of Parry Sound, with which unit he received his appointment as Major in 1909. Major Storey was married to Miss Ottilie Snyder, daughter of Mrs. F. Snyder, 66 Queen Street north. He is being brought here for burial. Funeral services will be held at Mt.
