"S. P. AVERY DEAD. -- Noted Art Connoisseur Was Stricken in New York. A dispatch from New York last night says "Samuel p. Avery, public benefactor, and one of the foremost men in art circles for five decades, died at his home, No. 4 East 38th street, Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock, in his eighty-third year.
Mr. Avery came to the city last Saturday from Lake Mohonk with a niece to transact some business, and proceeded to Atlantic City, where he hoped the sea air would benefit him. He became ill on reaching his home and retired. From the time he entered his bed he declined.
Mrs. Avery, his widow, is seriously ill at Lake Mohonk, and will be unable to attend the funeral services. Mr. Avery is also survived by a daughter, the wife of the Rev. P. Welcher of Brooklyn, and a son, Samuel Putnam Avery, Jr.
Mr. Avery was born in this city on March 17, 1822. His early services were in the employ of a bank note company, where he studied copper plate engraving. Later he engraved on wood. This early education led him to a study of art. In 1865 his mechanical training had resulted in the publication of several volumes of a humorous nature, for which he supplied the illustrations himself. The same year he became a dealer in art. His progress was so rapid that two years later he was appointed commissioner of art at the universal exhibition in Paris. He then abandoned his engraving pursuits and entered upon art enterprises, which continued until 1888, when he retired. One of Mr. Avery's notable benefactions was the gift to the New York Library of more than seventeen thousand prints, a collection on which he spent thirty-two years. He contributed to the Avery Architectural Library at Columbia fifteen thousand volumes in memory of his son, Henry Ogden Avery. His collection of oriental pottery is now in the Metropolitan Museum.--13 Aug 1904, (Washington, DC) Evening Star
