  Histories

  From "History of Buchanan County, Missouri" pub. by Union Historical Co, St. Joseph, Missouri (1881)
  pp 907-8
  JAMES A. STORM was born in Emmittsburg, Fredericks County, Maryland, June 26, 1823, and was there reared, educated and became proficient in architecture, his father, James, being a prominent member of the profession in that state. In 1846, James A. removed to Baltimore, where he remained engaged in his profession and building until 1850, when he took up his abode at Berkeley Springs, Virginia, where he followed contracting and building, and he also became proprietor of a livery stable. To him much credit is due for giving the locality of Berkeley Springs the reputation it afterwards attained as a watering place. There he constructed and operated swimming pools and a ten-pin alley, and was general manager of amusement. Mr. David H. Crawther, well know as a correspondent for Harper's Magazine, under the nom de plume of Port Crayon, was associated with him for a time in this business. In 1857, Mr. Storm settled in St. Joseph. He draft the design and superintended the building of the Pacific House. Was also superintendent of construction of the Buchanan Country Court House and other important structures in St. Joseph. For a considerable length of time he was a partner in contracting and building with John C. Evans, the style being Storm & Evans. In 1862, they dissolved partnership, and Mr. S. turned his attention to the manufacture of ox yokes, tents, and necessaries for outfitting adventurers for the West. His establishment was what is known as the St. Joseph planing mill. Also manufactured extensively the old-fashioned spinning wheel, looms, etc. In 1865, he sold out to DeClue & Shivel, and for one season, in company with W. Angelo Powell¹, conducted a real estate and architect's office. His next move was to engage in the fruit and produce business, which so rapidly increased that he was obliged to open a branch house at Omaha to accommodate his western trade. During one summer he shipped upwards of 30,000 bushels of apples and other products in proportion. In 1867, he opened a house and made a specialty of buying and selling game. He has done much toward improving the breeds of fowls, and in this important branch has achieved a wide reputation. Is the inventor of a fountain for the benefit of breeders of fowls that will keep water from freezing in winter and keep it cool in summer. On this he was awarded the highest prize at the Centennial. Is a member of the State Horticultural Society and of the Missouri Valley Horticultural Society. Mr. Storm is a man of considerable taste in antiquarian curiosities, and is the possessor of a rare collection of ancient coins and fossils. Was married in 1844, to Miss Margaret A. Baumgardner, at Emmittsburg, Maryland. They have had seven children - John F, (now Deputy Assessor in St. Louis), James A., Joseph A., Charlie K., William M. and Louisa M., living; and Mary A., deceased.
  ¹ A noted architect, W. Angelo Powell married Regina Gillmeyer, a first cousin of James Storm

  The Missouri Valley Poulty and Pet Stock Association was an institution organized in 1873, with James A. Storm, President, and Harry Carter, Secretary. [It lasted five or six years.]
  From "Let's Meet the Old Folks" by J. Hampton Baumgardner
  My earliest association with the family annals occurred in 1904, when Father permitted me to accompany him upon a visit, while we were in St. Louis, to Mrs. Margaret Baumgardner Storm, a first cousin of his father and nearly ninety years of age. I made a stenographic report of the interview which discussed the history of the family at great length. I still retain my report of the interview. Mrs. Storm was a granddaughter of Jacob Baumgardner, Sr., and the daughter of Samuel Baumgardner.
  Oral family history from Katherine Storm, great-granddaughter, was that James A. Storm was a wealthy (for St. Joseph) provisioner for river boats.
