HENRY R. AVERY, BLACKSMITH, DIES	

Funeral services for Henry Robert Avery, 79, who died Thursday night at his 
home, 867 Oglethorpe Ave, S.W., will be conducted at 3:30 pm today at Spring 
Hill.  The Rev. B. Frank Pim and the Rev. D. C. Starnes will officiate.  Burial 
will be in West View Cemetery.  Battle Hill Lodge 523, F and A.M. will have 
charge of the graveside rites.

Born at Sharon, Mr. Avery had lived in Atlanta 31 years.  He was a retired 
Fulton County blacksmith and machinist.  A member of Park Street Methodist 
Church, he was also a member of Battle Hill Masonic Lodge.

Survivors are his wife; two daughters, Mrs. R. M. Peters and Mrs. J. B. Hinson 
of Atlanta; five sons, H. T., M. L. and J. B. Avery of Atlanta; R. L. Avery of 
Villa Rica; E. L. Avery of Miami, Fla; 13 grandchildren and four great-
grandchildren.

This was a Masonic notification in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution:

There will be a called communication of Battle Hill Lodge No. 523, F. & A. M. 
in the ledge hall, Gordon Street and Lucile Avenue this (Saturday) afternoon, 
June 18 at 4 p.m. for the purpose of paying the last sad tribute of respect to 
our departed brother, Henry Robert Avery.  All Master Mason are invited to be 
present.  By order of, L.J. Cheele, W. M. Nelson Crist, Sec.



Additional Comments:
Henry Robert Avery was my great-grandfather though I never knew him.  My mother 
said he was a kind and gentle man with big arms.  She remembered it would hurt 
you when he hugged you.  I guess a blacksmith would be strong!
