Death Notice -- Daily Register, Feb 27,1888:
Died at the residence of his son-in-law, D D Sabin, Belvidere, Ill., Feb. 17,1888, Sydney Avery, in the 88th year of his age. Deacon Avery, as he had long been familiarly called, was of old and honorable New England stock, having been born in Groton, Conn., March 23,1800. In early manhood he removed to Central New York, where, on the 4th of September, 1823, he was married to Mary, daughter of Deacon David Dickey. The family resided first at Columbus, than at Sherburne till 1845. In the spring of that year, they removed to Belvidere. The home was established on a prairie farm four miles southwest of the town where Mr. Avery continued to live and labor as long as health and strength permitted. About 15 years ago he came to town, and for the last 11 years the aged couple have enjoyed all the comfort that filial tenderness could secure to them in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sabin. Of seven children three only survive, Mrs. D D Sabin, of Belvidere, William D Avery of Chicago, and Rev. Eugene H. Avery, of Vinton, Iowa. They have the privilege of cherishing still the venerable mother who remains with them after a married life of sixty-four and one-half years. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Belvidere. In January, '46 he was elected to the eldership, which office he held continuously to his death, a period of 42 years. The funeral service was held on Sabbath afternoon in the church which the good man had loved so long. Rev J H Windsor, the pastor, preached an appropriate discourse, and the elders of the church tenderly bore away the remains of their senior brother.
Children: Lydia Goodelle Avery Avery, Frances maria Avery Sabin, Harriet DeForest Avery, Mary Asenath Avery, William Dickey Avery, Eugene Henry Avery, and Mary Sophia Avery.
