NB: There were Thomas by surname Amery or Emery all over central Illinois and central Missouri. (Spellings seemed interchangeable for most if not all, as well.) Some had a father Samuel. This man's mother was Mary Fischer not Mary Ebersole. I have no information on what became of this man's parents (where they died or were buried) to narrow them down to specific individuals. I have no proof his sisters (if he had any) match those of Mary Avery d. 1900's obituary. Mary Avery d. 1900 obituary does not mention a son *by name.* No sisters are mentioned in Thomas Avery d. 1919 obituary. First name changed to Elijah based on a couple of records and by request of another contributor, 14 February 2022. This man throughout his life however went by Thomas.
His parents were Samuel Avery and Mary FISCHER.
His wife was "Rosie Amery." He was married at time of death.
