The parentage of John Edward Avery [as found in the book "Averell Averill Avery" written by Clara A Avery, page 680] is John Avery and Ann Maria Sinnott. He was educated at the public schools of Maine, Kents Hill Seminary in Readfield Maine; was a graduate of Harvard University (LAW) degree of LL.B in 1871. His law studies were commenced in the office of Hon. William P Whitehouse at Augusta, Maine. After his graduation he was admitted to the Suffolk (Massachusetts) Bar, and commenced practice in Charlestown, Massachusetts in partnership with Erdix T Swift of Charlestown, which connection continued until 1880 when he became general business manager for the publishing house of the late E. C. Allen, Augusta, Maine. In 1890 he returned to Boston and resumed the practice of law. For the four years preceding his death he was a partner of Charles B Stone of West Acton, with an office on Tremont St. He was a Mason-Past Grand Captain General of the Grand Commandery of Maine. He enjoyed the friendship and high esteem of a wide circle of acquaintances.
Mr Avery's death was particularly sad, for while in perfect health, with every promise of continued business success, he was run over by a carriage on Tremont Street, Feb 22, 1900 and died at the City Hospital, Feb 26, 1900. The interment was in the Cemetery at North Whitefield, in the family grounds.

The many friends of John E. Avery of Boston, formerly of this town, were shocked to hear of his sudden and untimely death. He was crossing Tremont Street in Boston last Thursday afternoon, when he was run over by an undertaker's team and seriously injured. He was taken to the City Hospital and died Saturday afternoon. Mr. Avery was never married. He leaves an aged father, John Avery of North Whitefield, and one sister, Mrs. Oscar Marden of Stoughton, Mass., besides hosts of friends, who deeply sympathize with the afflicted family.
