  • Notes 
    • from "The Chicago Republican", 29 Apr 1869 (genealogybank.com)
      Coroner's Inquest – In last Sunday's Republican was published an article under the heading of "Another Mystery," stating that a man named John A. Avery had been found in a room at No. 211 Madison street, in a dying condition. The man, although alive at the time, was unable to speak a word, and as his appearance indicated that he had passed through a desperate struggle, fears were entertained that he would never recover. He had been in his room from Wednesday afternoon until Saturday morning without food or assistance of any kind. Dr. Gore was notified, and immediately gave orders for Avery's removal to the County Hospital. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning the unfortunate man died in the hospital, and the Coroner was one was at once notified of the fact, and inquest held. Dr. J. R. Gore made a post-mortem examination of the dead body, and found two wounds over the eyes and one on the left temple, apparently inflicted with some blunt weapon; also, the skull fractured, answering to the external injuries. The deceased was aged about 37 years. He was born in Detroit, Mich., and served for three years in the late War in the 1st Wisconsin Infantry. He was lately employed in this city as a box-maker at Richie and Duck's Factory, corner of State and Randolph streets. The jury returned a verdict that death was caused by injuries inflicted by some person or persons Unknown
