Ammi Storer (1811 – July 4, 1874) was an American merchant. He was prominent in today's Yarmouth, Maine, where a street is now named for him. He also worked in Boston, Massachusetts.
Storer was born in 1811 to Amos Storer and Sally True. He was their second son, after William.[1]
Career
Storer was the first owner of a business in the brick building at today's 108 Main Street,[2] at its intersection with Portland Street,[3] in what was then North Yarmouth, Massachusetts.
In July 1849, Storer wrote a petition to the Maine Legislature to divide North Yarmouth and create a new town. It was a repeat of a request from 1828. Both were denied (the second initially, but accepted the following month).[4]
