He visited California, where he has two brothers, and was so we'll pleas ed with the climate that he decided to To- cate there.

William c. Avery died last Friday af- ternoon at his home on Church-st., being unable to rally from the attack of grip pneumonia which he experienced in Bos- ton a short time ago, while absent for treatment for stomach and heart troubles. He would have probably recovered from the attack of grip but for the other com plications.
 While still very Ill in Boston he ex- pressed a desire to be brought to his home, and, under the care of Dr. Nichols, he was placed on a special train and brought here. When it was learned that he suffered no i'll effects from the journey his friends hop that he would recover.
 Mir. Avery began an eventful life in Groton 61 years ago. He was was one of 12 children, a son of Deacon Robert Aus tn Avery. When F years of age he came to Stafford and commenced his business career, which also ended here. He commenced work at the Hydeville woolen mill, now owned by the Phoenix company. MT. Avery was we'll endowed with energy and brains, and rose rapidly in the business. He soon left HydeviIle, to take a more lucrative position as oveI- seer of weaving in the Springville mill at Rockville Later he was with the Hook anum company in the same town, also with the New England. where he held the position of superintendent and designer After leaving Rockville he was. employed by the Middlesex mills of Lowell, where he remained 16 years. Of the time that he was with the Middlesex mills he acted as superintendent eight years, and was then promoted to agent, with salary oi $10,000 a year, which he held for eight years. So we'll pleased were the stock. holders with MT. Avery's management that he and his wife were sent for a three months trip abroad at about the time oi his promotion to the position of agent The trip was not entirely for pleasure, as MT. Avery during his absence selected the equipment for a new mill that the compa- ny was to build.
 He retired from the Mlddlesex company in 1S82 and, accompanied by his wife and his son, who was in III health, decided to
