“John Avery, 87, died last week Tuesday at the home of his son, Charles, in Wayland. In the days before automobiles superceded horses, Mr. Avery conducted a livery and bus line in Wayland and was well known throughout this section. He also operated the Bryant House stables in that village. A great friend of horses, Mr. Avery inspired many a man to be more kind and considerate with his faithful steeds.”
