FATHER OF LOCAL DOCTOR EXPIRES
Dr. Arch Avary, Sr. Dies At 90.
Dr. Arch Avary, Sr., surgeon general of the United Confederate Veterans and 
distinguished retired physician, father of Dr. Arch Avary, Jr., of Ellaville, 
was paid final tribute Monday at funeral services conducted from Peachtree 
Chapel in Atlanta.

Dr. Avary, who was 90, died Sunday at the Soldier's Home in Atlanta where he 
had lived for the past three years to be with his comrades of the War Between 
the States.

A widely known, physician, Dr. Avary retired from active practice 15 years 
ago.  Following his graduation from Southern Medical College, now a part of 
Emory University, in 1880, he studied in Germany and Austria before 
establishing practice in Atlanta.

He served two enlistments in the Confederate army.

Dr. Avary was a member of a distinguished Columbia County family.  His father 
Dr. James Corbin Avary served in the General Assembly.

Bishop Warren A. Candler and Dr. Edwin G. Mackey, of the First Methodist 
church of Atlanta, officiated at the funeral.  The Fulton County Medical 
Association, of which he was a life member, furnished an honorary escort.

Eleven surviving Confederate veterans wore uniforms at the rites and the flag 
at the Veterans Home flew at half mast throughout the day.

Besides an only son, Dr. Arch Avary, of Ellaville, he is survived by two 
brothers, Dr. James Corbin Avary and Robert Avary of Atlanta.
