Clinton MO - Howard G. Avery died at his home in Norfolk, Va., Thursday morning after a long illness following an operation. About two months ago his twin brother, Herbert Avery died in Norfolk. Deceased was born August 7, 1865, in Clinton, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Avery. He graduated from William Jewell College in Liberty, and then, as he desired to study law, through the advice of Peyton Parks, entered the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, where he received his degree and returned to Clinton where he was admitted to the Bar and practiced one year. While in school, he met a Virginia girl whom he later married, and who prevailed upon him to return to Virginia to make his home, so he practiced law there 35 years. Two sons were given to this union, both of whom live in Norfolk; Hamilton Avery is an architect there and Angus has been manager of a hotel. Mr. Avery is also survived by his beloved wife, one sister, Mrs. H. M. Fewel, South Third street, Clinton, and two brothers, Will Avery, Hermosa Beach, Calif., and Walter Avery, Beverly Hills, Calif. Deceased was converted when a young man and united with the Baptist Church in Clinton. He moved his membership to Virginia when he went there, and became an officer in the church, and always took an active part in the church. His mind was bright and keen and he was known as one of the best lawyers in the south. Ever happy and cheerful, others were always his first concern and his life was one of continually giving to his loved ones. His funeral and burial was at Norfolk.
