This is Ethel Parker-Henry and her husband Rube Henry. I believe this is the Avery depot.

This is my great grandfather's restaurant in Avery, J. W. Parker. He first started out with a tent and a couple of sawhorses and planks. They were along with the Krogman's original settlers of Avery.

Parker's restaurant again. This time in the inside. Shown is back row Emma Krogman-Parker, J.W. Parker. Bottom row: left to right, Allie Parker-Coleman, Clara Parker-Fisher, Ethel Parker-Henry, Clarence Henry. Lady in the background is the cook and I don't know her name. The date on the calender is September 1913.

This is the Krogman family of Avery, Ok. They had a big reunion every so often.

This is the Avery depot.

My grandfather, Bryan Robertson, and most likely his first truck, taken in Avery, probably around 1917. Bryan and his wife Elva owned and operated the first service station in Avery. The truck was most likely used soley for hauling groceries and other goods from the depot and Cushing to their store.

My great-grandfather G. A. Robertson's home in Avery. He was a founding member of the town, and he owned and operated one of the largest General Stores, a livery stable, had an interest in the lumber yard and cotton gin, and was Mayor of Avery for a time. His brother, J. B. A. Robertson became the 4th Governor of Oklahoma.

These pieces of cement foundation are all that is left of the old Avery downtown area.
