"Floyd G.

Floyd G. Avery acquired his early education in the schools of Pittsfield Township and grew up on his father's farm. He spent three years as a farmer on part of his father's land, but at the present time he owns thirty-five acres and is rapidly getting ahead in the world. Mr. and Mrs. Avery are members of the Grange and belong to the Congregational Church of Pittsfield. Fraternally he is affiliated with the Royal Arcanum and in politics is a republican. He has made himself a factor in local affairs, and in 1913 was elected township trustee and re-elected in 1915. He has served six years as school director."
