Beers and Co, 1897) Text: p. 1007-1008 Text: W. G. M. Avery, one of the honored pioneers of this county, now residing in Bowling Green, was born in Ellisburg, N. Y., February 10, 1820. He is of Welsh descent, and his ancestors were early settlers in New York State, where his father, W. R. H. Avery, spent the greater part of his life. He married Miss Polly Towsler, also a native of New York, and came to Medina county, Ohio, in 1833, where he died in 1880, at the age of eighty-four. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and drew a pension during his later years. An active, intelligent thinker, even in old age, he took great interest in public affairs and was an ardent believer in the principles of the Democratic party. His wife died in Medina county in 1853, at fifty-seven years of age. They had twelve children: Betsey, who married A. Selkirk of Wood County–both are deceased; Gilbert, a resident of Plain township, Wood county; Sallie, deceased, formerly Mrs. Shubal Stevens, or Orleans county, N. Y.; W. G. M., our subject; Eleanor, the wife of Daniel Noyce, of Bowling Green, both deceased; Lucy, who married John Hardin, of Medina county, and died there; Melissa, the wife of John Shaw, of Medina county, both of whom died in Wood county; William and Thomas, now residents of Plain township, Wood county; Marry, deceased, formerly the wife of John Meeker, of this county; and John who died at two years of age. CONT CONT Our subject was thirteen years old when his parents moved to Medina county, where he grew to manhood. In 1841, he began to make hunting trips to Wood county during the autumn and winter, and on one of these excursions he met Miss Narcissa Meeker, who was born in Hamilton county, March 5, 1826. They were married November 16, 1844, and for two years following lived in Medina county. In 1846 they came to Center township, Wood county, and settled in the woods, far from any road, where Mr. Avery cleared over 200 acres of land. For a number of years he was engaged in stock raising upon a farm of 140 acres, but he retired from active business in 1892. He still owns two small farms. Mr. and Mrs. Avery’s descendants number seven children and forty grandchildren, namely: (1) Alice A., born October 17, 1846, married Johyn Dalley, and had seven children: Owen, Alena, Mina, Gertrude, Jennie, Cora and George.

(4) Martha Adelaide, born February 9, 1854, married M. Witherow, of Plain township, and had nine children: Earnest Walter, Mary, Lura, Washington, Sadie, Owen, Orlie, and John. (5) Betsey Ann, born November 18, 1857, married James Franklin, and died March 18, 1886. Two children of this union are living – Lovenia and Charles – a third, Howard, died in infancy. (6) Ella, born July 29, 1859; married George Barr, of Center township, and had six children: Arthur, Allen, Alic, Ethel, Robert and Rolly. (7) Washington G., born February 4, 1861, married Viola Snyder, of Bowling Green, and lives in Center township; they have three children: Claud, Ethel, and Sylva. There are also six great-grandchildren. CONT CONT Mr. and Mrs. Avery have brought up more than twenty children in their hom, at different times. They are interested in all religious and philanthropical movements, and have been for many years leading members of the United Bretheren Church. Mr. Avery is a Democrat politically, and at one time elected director of the county infirmary.
