1810 South Street “Island View Farm”

The Avery farmhouse was at 1810 South Street, with a large barn behind it with a big sign, “Island View Farm.” At the turn of the 20th Century you could see the lake from South Street. George and Lottie Niles Avery came from Pennsylvania. They bought the farm in 1896 from the Rose family. The house built in 1829 is still there, but the barn was removed in the early 2020s. George and Lottie had ten children; only seven children survived infancy, Marshall, Arnold, George, Horace, Bessie, Frank and Otis.
