    Obituary of Lucinda Avera
    From the Christian Advocate
    New Orleans, Louisana
    Thursday, June 20, 1872
    Mrs. Lucinda Avera
    This Christian lady died near Black Hawk, Carroll county, Mississippi, about ten o'clock on the night of the thirty-first of May, 1872. Her maiden name was Lane, and she was born near Raleigh, North Carolina, on the seventeenth day of April, 1796. She was married to Samuel Avera March 20, 1814. She was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1828.
    Sister Avera was a devoted member of the Methodist Church South for a long time, being among the oldest members in the Black Hawk society. She was devoted to the cause of Christ, feeling always willing and ready to make sacrifices for the Master. In fact she possessed that religion that taught her to trust her God in all things. She was therefore very anxious about the welfare of the church.

    Lucinda married Samuel AVERY on 19 Mar 1814 in Wake County, North Carolina. Samuel was born on 4 Nov 1788 in Johnston County, North Carolina; died on 22 Nov 1867 in Black Hawk, Carroll, Mississippi; was buried in Black Hawk Cemetery, Black Hawk, Carroll, Mississippi.
