John Avery was born in Otsego township, June 4, 1865; died May 8, 1890, aged
24 years, 11 months, and 4 days. He was a young man who, although beset by
the many temptations of youth, always lived as honest, moral life; his
conduct being guided at all times by a sense of right and justice. He was
much esteemed by the many who knoew him and will be missed by his
associates. His loss will be a sad bueden to his parents, brother and
sisters, as he was a faithful son and brother, dearly loved by all.
