Probert Peolia Story

Probert P. Story was elected constable for Precinct 4 at Belden in Morris County on November 15, 1892. Belden is the present day City of Naples. Constable Story was trying to arrest a suspect who was drunk when the man resisted. Constable Story struck the man with his pistol. The suspect knocked his arm up and caused the pistol to fall to the floor and discharge. The bullet entered Story’s thigh and went upward, breaking his thigh and hip bones. Constable Story died on May 15, 1893.

The suspect was never identified in the newspaper and the disposition of any criminal charge is unknown. Titus County and Morris County could not locate any records of an arrest or a trial.

Story was survived by his wife Zephie and several children. He was buried in the Naples City Cemetery.
