Henry B. Avery of Ashland.
A well known highly respected citizen and life-long resident of Ashland and vicinity passed away Thursday, October 17, at the Plymouth hospital, when Henry Avery after some months of failing health was called, we believe, to a higher life and a better world. Henry Bernard Avery was born in New Hampton May 14, 1895, the son of Fred A. and Ada E. (Sanborn) Avery. He attended the public schools in both New Hampton and Ashland, and as a young man worked, more or less with his father on various projects. He entered the military service at the time of the World War. On June 30, 1918, after a training at Durham, he was assigned to the Coast Defense, being stationed at Portland, Maine, and other points on the New England coast. He was mustered out January 10, 1919. He was married May 11, 1918 to Annie B. Willoughby of Ashland, and a descendant of one of the oldest families in our town. After their marriage the couple continued to live on the home place formerly known as the Otto Willoughby farm on the southern part of the village. Henry carried on the farm and at times worked in the mills at Ashland when work on the land allowed him to do so. Always quiet, unassuming and genial in manner, kind in his family, and exemplary in habits, he was respected and esteemed by all who knew him.
He is survived by a widow, a daughter, Alma E. and a son, Harold K. all of Ashland, also by his father, mother, two sisters, Mr. Robert Eastman and Mrs. Roger Hawkins and three younger brothers, Raymond, Richard, and Bernard Avery.
Funeral services were at the house Sunday afternoon at 2:30 and were largely attended. Members of the Passaconaway Lodge, K. of P. and Ezra Dupuis Post American Legion with Women's Auxiliary, attended in a body. The full and impressive Legion burial service was held both at the house and cemetery. Reverend Clifford Peaslee was the officiating clergyman and bearers were David Sorrell, Bert Baker, Clifford Gingras, James Hinds, Joseph Forbes and Harold Knowlton. Interment was at Green Grove Cemetery where in a grave piled high with flowers we leave our friend, who has now entered into eternal rest. The Plymouth Record, October 27, 1941.
