ANDREW JACKSON AVEY, general express agent
and agent for the Cincinnati, Georgetown & Portsmouth
railroad, Mt. Washington, was born in Cincinnati Sept. 19,
1830. His father, Jonas Avey, whose parents
immigrated to America from Germany, was born in 1799, and
settled in Cincinnati in 1800, dying on his farm in Clermont
county Apr. 5, 1884. His mother, whose maiden name was
Julia A. Tumy, was born in the State of Delaware May
12, 1809, and now lives at Moscow, Ohio. Both her
grandparents were from North of Ireland, and served in the
American army during the Revolutionary war. She
married Mr. Avey at Cincinnati June 6, 1824, and
their children are as follows: Oliver; H. P.,
of Indianapolis, a painter by occupation; Mrs. Eliza J.
Boles, of Fort Scott, Kans.; Andrew J.; Mrs. Mary E.
Gallagher, of Moscow, Ohio; Mrs. Emily J. Cartwright,
of Boston, Mass., and William M., of Cincinnati.
Andrew J. Avey received his education at the
public schools of Cincinnati, Woodward College, and Gundry's
Mercantile College, graduating at the last named institution
in 1849. 1850 he was bookkeeper for William B.
Wilson & Company; in 1852 he was elected city weigher;
in 1854 he was bookkeeper at Raccoon Furnace, Greenup, Ky.;
in 1857 he was overseer of the poor in Cincinnati; in 1844
he was connected with the Ohio militia; in 1846-47 he served
seven months in the Mexican war as a musician in the
Fifteenth United States Infantry. At the outbreak of
the Rebellion Mr. Avery enlisted in the
Twelfth O. V. I. for three months, and June 1, 1861, was
promoted to drum-major. On Sept. 19, 1861, he
re-enlisted in the Sixty first O. V. I., served through
Pope's Virginia campaign, was wounded at Minor's Hill Sept.
12, 1862, and afterward served on the staff of Governors
Tod and Brough as brevet-major. In
January, 1864, he left the army, having been in fourteen
battles and rendered conspicuous service. He was
elected magistrate of Fayette county, Ind., at the close of
the war, serving in this office four years. He also
served as an official at the Soldiers' Home, Dayton, Ohio,
and has been connected with municipal affairs in the village
of Mt. Washington as councilman. Since 1851 Mr.
Avey has been identified with the press, and is still
employed by teh Cincinnati Post as a correspondent.
In 1860, he was leaving the "Burnet House," Cincinnati,
Stephen A. Douglas turned to James J. Farren, of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and said: "Major
Avey has introduced me to more press officials
throughout the West than any other individual." In
politics Mr. Avey is a Democrat. In 1857 large
placards were posted all over Cincinnati, calling for a
public meeting at the east end of the old Fifth Street
Market House to adopt measures for the suppression of a
scurrilous sheet called "Town Talk." A thousand people
collected, and Major Avey, who happened to
pass through the crowd, was elevated to a butcher's block
and called upon to preside. He at once divined the
purpose of the assembly, which was to mob the office.
This object he determined to frustrate, and, having
appointed a committee on resolutions, he made a humorous
address. The committee's report was adopted, and, the
passions of the crowd having subsided, the major adjourned
the meeting. But one copy of hte paper was
subsequently issued, and thus the object was accomplished
without recourse to violence.
On Oct. 14, 1871, Maj. Avey married Nancy B.,
daughter of William Worley and Miranda (Jorden) Williams.
Her father, a relative of the Williams who was one of
the captors of Maj. Andre in the Revolution, was born
in 1813, and died May 15, 1875. Her mother was born in
Claysville, Ky., in 1812, and died in November, 1883.
Mr. and Mrs. Avey have four children: Mrs. Emily
J. Baily, Edwin W., John William Blair and Cynthia.
The Major has been a trustee of Mt. Washington M. E. Church
six years. He is past commander of Joseph F.
Trotter Post No. 268, G. A. R., and a member of the old
Woodward Club of Cincinnati. Mrs. Avey is a
worker in the Woman's Relief Corps and Ladies' Aid
Society.
