William Holt AVERELL was for thirty years a resident of Rochester and public opinion accorded to him a place among the trustworthy and respected business men of the city. He was born in Morristown, New York, on the 1st of August, 1849, and was descended from an old colonial family that settled in Cooperstown, New York. His father, William John AVERELL, was a native of Ogdensburg, New York, where he became a banker and a gentleman farmer, owning large land interests in St. Lawrence county. His mother, Mary WILLIAMSON, was also a member of a prominent New York family. Her grandfather, Nathaniel WILLIAMSON, was graduated from Princeton College and was a leading lawyer of his day; and her father, after having graduated from Annapolis, became an officer in the navy. He died at Havana, where his remains were buried. When her father was in service at Havana Mary WILLIAMSON resided in New York city, living in lower Broadway. It was there that she married William John AVERELL, of Ogdensburg.
Their son, William Holt AVERELL, obtained his early education in the schools of Ogdensburg and later attended the Northampton Preparatory School prior to entering Yale University at New Haven, Connecticut. He graduated at that institute in 1872. Returning to Ogdensburg, he resided there until 1874, when he removed to Rochester and founded the FURNACEVILLE IRON COMPANY. He became partner in the firm of GEORGE C. BUELL & COMPANY, where he continued in business until his death October 14, 1904. This enterprise was developed along conservative yet progressive lines until it became a leading industry of the city.
In 1878 Mr. AVERELL was married to Mary BLOSSOM, daughter of George C. BUELL and Mary House BLOSSOM. They had three children : William Holt, Elizabeth Buell and Ruth.
