Story is perhaps best known for his portraits of president Abraham Lincoln and for serving as curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and the Wadsworth Athaneum in Hartford, CT. As a youth, he apprenticed as a woodcarver and later studied art in Europe and under portraitists Louis Ball and Charles Hines. He painted mainly in Maine, Washington DC and New York City, and his works are in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Connecticut; and Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
