Ellen Avery was my 2nd great-grandmother. The picture attached to this profile was taken by her grandson, my grandfather, Lynn A. Fitzgerald in 1925. Lynn and his wife, Dorothea, were visiting Ellen and Charles Allen in Schoolcraft, MI to show them their new baby, Robert, who was my father. Ellen was 73 at the time.
