           [240]

           CHARLES McAVOY, blacksmith at Bad Axe, was born in April, 1848,
        in Glengarry, Ont.  He is the son of JOHN and ELIZABETH (RYAN) Mc-
        AVOY.  He was reared on a farm and when he was 14 years of age he
        entered upon his apprenticeship to prepare for his business.  He
        served three years, and on completing his term of indenture he went
        to Keeseville, Essex Co., N.Y., where he was variously employed
        three years.  He then established himself independently, and con-
        tinued the prosecution of his business two years.  He next became
        an employee in a nail factory there, where he operated 10 years.
           While he resided at Keeseville, he was married to MARY
        McAULIFFE, a native of New York.  The wedding occurred June 20,
        1867.  HATTIE E., born Sept. 20, 1868 and CATHERINE, born Aug. 16,
        1874, are the names of the children of Mr. and Mrs. McAVOY.
           They removed to Tawas City, Mich., in August, 1879, coming
        thence to Bad Axe, in June, 1880.  Mr. McAVOY opened his shop where
        he has since been successfully engaged in all the avenues common to
        his trade.  The family are members of the Roman Catholic Church.
