  • Introduction

    I know her as Mrs Avery when I was a young high school volunteer and later as a staff member at the Protestant Guild for the Blind. Sister Elizabeth Harnett worked in the main bulding of the school while Claire Avery worked as a resident staff in a small house across from the main bulding. She had a lovely daughter named Rose who was an artist but at the time I didn't know much about her. Apparently she was an exceptional talent and intelligent enough to attend the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University. I am clearly impressed by her daughter and the simple life she lived in lower Manhattan. Sometimes in her free time Mrs Avery would play a few holes on the country club around the school grounds. I remember walking with her one day when she played a hole close to the building. I am sad she passed and even more sad to hear her daughter Rose passed from that terrible sickness. It is sad to know a mother passes before her only child. Not everyone liked her at first glance because sometimes people misunderstand for whatever reasons. People are born and raised a certain way and they become set in their ways often. But reading what she did with Rose's canvasses / paintings was really awesome. They won't be lost or destroyed. Rose's legacy is kept alive in her works. I am sorry to say that I did not have the opportunity to say goodbye to her and her mom Claire Avery. I remembered when was about to retire, she bought a place on West Newton Street in Boston. She had plans to live there and get passive income from renting out rooms. But eventually she sold it and moved to Stuart, Florida. But I think she also had a place down on the cape in Massachusetts. I remember helping her paint the rooms and she paid people to renovate the property. In my opinion, some of the people she hired took advantage of her and did a half decent job. She used to drive a VW shift car. I lost touch when I had my own life to live and busy with work and starting my own family. She worked at the Guild for the Reverend Wesley G. Price. Eventually the school and residential program for the multi handicapped closed. I didn't know much about her family but right now in my old age I wish I knew more about her, other then the conversations we had when we worked at the Guild.

In 1912, in the year that Claire v Avery was born, the RMS Titanic sank in April. The RMS Titanic was a British built and run passenger liner that was billed as "unsinkable." On its maiden voyage from Southampton England to New York City, carrying about 2,224 passengers and crew - from the wealthiest people in the world to poor emigrants from Europe, the Titanic hit an iceberg. Five of her watertight compartments failed but she was designed to survive only 4 being flooded. She began to sink. There were only enough lifeboats for about half of the passengers so over 1,000 remained behind while "women and children first" were loaded. Over 1500 died, making it the largest maritime disaster in modern history.
