Charles Richardson Avery - Charles R. Avery.- Starting in life as a clerk and salesman in a general dry goods store, and acquiring a fondness for the business, Charles R. Avery, now one of the leading merchants of Paw Paw, has adhered to it ever since, and although he has suffered some severe losses he has on the whole made steady advances to his present high standing in business circles, and shown at all times a spirit of determination to win his way in spite of every obstacle and over every difficulty.
Mr. Avery is a native of Paw Paw, and was born on September 10, 1842. He is a son of Richardson and Sarah A. (Lumbard) Avery, the former born in Jefferson county, New York, and the latter on Pawlet, Rutland county, Vermont. The father came to Michigan in 1840 and located in Paw Paw after a short residence in Detroit, during which he faced all the horrors of the great epidemic of cholera of the early days in that city that was fatal to so many persons but left him unharmed. He was a carpenter and joiner, and wrought at his trade until his death, which occurred in Paw Paw in 1875. The mother lived to be eighty-three years of age, surviving her husband a long time. They had four children, of whom Charles R. is the only one living. The third and fourth in the order of birth passed away in infancy. The second son, Fred E., grew to manhood and was in business as a merchant for some years in Paw Paw. He died some years ago, generally esteemed for his excellent business traits and his general worth as a man and citizen.
Charles R. Avery obtained a high school education in Paw Paw. He left school in 1859, and in 1860 entered the employ of E. Smith and Company, a general dry goods firm in Paw Paw, with whom he remained ten years, by his capacity and faithful attention to duty acquiring an interest in the business, which covered the last few years of his connection with the house. But he was eager to have an establishment of his own, or a larger interest in one than he possessed in that of Mr. Smith.
Accordingly, in 1870 he formed a partnership with his brother Fred, and together they opened a general merchandising store, which they conducted under the firm name of C. R. and F. E. Avery until 1877. In that year C. R. sold his interest in the business to his brother and started a new store of his own, of which he is still in charge. He started his separate store in a building which he rented for that purpose, and in 1880 had his stock of goods entirely destroyed by a disastrous fire.
Not disheartened by this calamity, he kept on trading, and in 1890, or soon afterward, bought the commodious and substantial building of brick in which his new store is now located, and in which it has ever since been carried on. His business ability and studious attention to the wants of the community brought him prosperity, increased his popularity as a merchant and strengthened his hold on the confidence and esteem of the people. In addition to his store building and stock of merchandise he owns an attractive and valuable residence and other property.
On June 12, 1865, Mr. Avery was married at Jackson, Michigan, to Miss Flora A. Kemble, a daughter of A. C. and Emeline Kemble, of that city. Three children have been born of this union: Nettie, who died in infancy; Bernetta, who died at the age of eleven years; and Frank, who is associated in business with his father. The father is a Democrat in his political faith and allegiance, and while not strictly an active partisan, has always been loyal to his party and zealous in its service. He has taken a cordial interest in the affairs of the village, too, independently of political considerations, serving it well and wisely as president, trustee, and treasurer. His fraternal connection is with the Knights of the Maccabees, and his religious affiliation with the Presbyterian church. These organizations enlist his hearty support, and all their affairs receive his energetic and helpful attention. He is ardent also in his zeal in behalf of all worthy undertakings for the good of the people and all the mental and moral agencies at work among them. in 1912.³
