Olive L. Avery (1826-1907) was born in Vermont and died in Chicago, Illinois. She was a student of Mary Baker Eddy's, studying alongside her husband, Samuel J. Avery, in May 1884. There is no record of Avery, or her husband, joining the Christian Scientist Association or uniting with the Church of Christ (Scientist). It's not clear when the Averys left the Christian Science movement, but Samuel continued to correspond with Eddy until 1887.
