Additional Comments:
Marvin Lester Avery was my grandmother’s (Louise Avery Hinson Brownlee) 
brother.  They were very close.  My grandfather, John Beuna Hinson is buried 
with his mother and father in Villa Rica, GA.  My grandmother, Louise, rests 
next to her brother, Lester, and Westview Cemetery, Atlanta, GA.  I don’t 
remember ever meeting him, but I’m sure I did somewhere along the line.
