COMPENDIUM OF HISTORY, REMINISCENCE AND BIOGRAPHY OF
NEBRASKA
CONTAINING A
History of the State of Nebraska
Steven D. Avery, now deceased, was for many years one of the foremost citizens Oakland precinct. He was one of the substantial men of his region, whose integrity, industry, thrift and economy have added so much to the wealth and growth of Nebraska. He lived to a ripe old age. and his demise was deeply felt by the people of his community who knew so well the influence for good which he had always exercised for the welfare of the entire region.
Mr. Avery was born in New Hampshire on June 13, 1833, and made that state his residence until he was thirty-eight years of age, being engaged in the shoe manufacturing business for a number of years. He was a soldier in the civil war, serving nearly the whole time of the struggle, and participating in many famous battles. During the battle of Fair Oaks he was severely wounded, receiving two gunshot wounds which disabled him for the balance of his life. He served in Company D, Fifth New Hampshire Volunteers. After receiving his discharge, he re-enlisted and was commissioned captain, but the war closed at about this time, so he was not called into active service.
In 1871, Mr. Avery came to Nebraska, locating on a quarter section of homestead land in Boone county, this land being a part of the City Of Albion at the present time. He was married in December, 1873, to Miss Ellen S. Counsell, who was born and raised in England, coming to the United States with her parents in 1866. Mrs. Avery's parents were John and Theresa Counsell, both born in England and early settlers in Boone county. During the early days they went through the usual pioneer experiences, and from the first Mr. Avery took an active interest in the affairs of the county,. acting as an immigration agent for the state of Nebraska. He was also justice of the peace for many years. He succeeded in developing a good farm, and at the time of his death was classed among the well to-do men of his locality, he and his family being prominent in the educational and social affairs of their community. He died on October 13, 1900, in Petersburg, after an illness of eighteen years, survived by his wife and seven sons, the latter named as follows: Frank, who with his family lives in Colorado; John, now in Montana; Fred and Jesse, both at home; William, a well known farmer living near Petersburg; Edward, now in Idaho, and Ernest, who lives at Beatrice, Nebraska.
Mr. Avery was the fourth of nine sons, eight of whom served in the civil war, two being killed while in service.
Mrs. Avery's mother died in August, 1888, and her father in October, 1895. She has three sisters, two of whom reside in Albion, and the other is living in Omaha. Another died in Boone county in 1892, and a brother was accidentally drowned in Iowa, in August, 1867. Mrs. Avery is still occupying the old home in Petersburg, where she is surrounded by a large circle of friends. She is a woman of superior ability in a business way, having been a homesteader previous to her marriage. She proved up on one hundred and sixty acres situated on section twenty-two, township twenty-two, range seven, and during the pioneer times thought nothing of walking the distance of fifteen miles from this claim to the little postal station of Dresser, which was on the ground where Albion is now located. During these trips she was obliged to wade creeks where the water in places reached to her waist. She also helped build the first shanty which was her dwelling for a number of years.
