bullet  General Notes:

DOD POD per Straw/Avery Bible
He was probably Stephen Willey Avery named for his maternal grandfather.

Stephen , eldest son of Caleb and Lucinda ( Willey) Avery, was born in Rumney, May 1848. He was under the legal age for enlistment at the commencement of the civil war in 1861 , but being determined to enter the army he enlisted without the consent of his parents by declaring to the recruiting officer that he was of the required age , and he was enrolled in the Sixth Regiment New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry. At the Battle of Bull Run he received a severe wound in the hip, which confined him in the hospital for six months, and at expiration of that time he was honarably discharged on account of physical disability. For a period of fifteen years after his return from the army he was in charge of a Ladder Factory in Rumney,( probably Peppards) and going from there to Laconia he became proprietor of the Elmwood Hotel.
He was subsequently for some time a travelling optician, residing for a time in Burlington, Vermont , whence he removed to Barre, same state, and he died December 25, 1894. In 1863 he married Eunice Staw, who was born in Rumney in 1845, and she died in Laconia. While residing in Barre he married for his second wife Mrs. Ruth ________ ?, a widow. She survived him.
