Death of Cap. AVERY
At 5:30 on Sunday afternoon, Cap. AVERY died of smallpox at the Pest House. He seemed to be rapidly recovering, and was chatting and laughing pleasantly, when he suddenly went into convulsions and passed away. The report in the Virginia Chronicle that he was neglected by his nurse was in error. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, the G.A.R. and also belonged to the Carson Guard and Warren Engine Co., all of which organizations would have assisted at his funeral had he not died of a contageous (sic) disease.
