He practiced law with his father, the late William H.

Mr. Avery was a lifelong member of the Sierra Club, in which he was active through the years, and also gave enthusiastic support to conservationist activities throughout California. He took a lively interest in San Francisco’s cultural activities and was a “first nighter” at the symphony concerts and other events. In addition to his sister, he is survived by a niece, Mrs. Avery Tompkins of Carmel.
