Early life
Story was born on September 8, 1857, in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, to American parents. He was the youngest child of sculptor William Wetmore Story and Emelyn (née Eldredge) Story. Among his siblings was brother Thomas Waldo Story, also a well known sculptor, and sister, Edith Marion (née Story), Marchesa Peruzzi di Medici, the wife of Marquess Simone Peruzzi di Medici. During his stays in Rome, he became close with the Italian painter Antonio Mancini, who painted him twice. Today, one of those portraits is in the Lukas Charles Collection{{Cite book |last=Carrera |first=Manuel |title=Antonio Mancini e l'alta società tra Parigi, Londra e Dublino, in "Napoli Ottocento: dal Sublime alla Materia" |year=2024 |isbn=9788892825550 |pages=262-285 |language=Italian}}
