NATHANIEL NELSON AVERY

Nathaniel Nelson Avery was born at Atlanta, Georgia, July 13, 1861, and
died at Hutchinson, Kansas, July 10, 1928, lacking three days of being
67 years of age. He was married to Miss Artesia Overton in Fulton county
Georgia in May, 1882, and to this union were born seven sons and two daughters.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Claude DeWitt of the Fort Cobb
M.E. church and interment was made in the Pleasant View Cemetery, Friday
afternoon, July 13, attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbors.
The family lived in Oklahoma for 35 years, Ardmore being the old home,
however Fort Cobb and vicinity has been their home for 15 years. On account
of the failing health of Mr. Avery, they moved to Hutchinson this spring.
John Avery, a son, has lived in this community for a number of years. Mr.
Avery was a quiet man, a lover of flowers and little children. He leaves
a brave-hearted wife, his children, a number of grandchildren and many
friends to mourn for him.

He united with the M.E. church when 24 years of age, and continued with
the church until his death.

The family expresses deep appreciation and thanks for every act of kindness
shown them, and for the flowers. One card bore the names of 21 families,
and to this grief stricken family is extended the heartfelt sympathy of
the entire neighborhood.
