Oswald Theodore Avery was born on 21 October 1877 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the second of three sons of Elizabeth Crowdy and Joseph Francis Avery. A Baptist minister in England, Joseph Avery and his wife emigrated to Canada in 1873. After establishing himself as a well-respected pastor in Halifax, he moved his family to New York City in 1887, where he was appointed the pastor of the Mariner's Temple Baptist mission church on the lower East Side. Each member of the family participated in the church: Elizabeth was involved with charities and the newsletter while young 'Ossie' and his oldest brother, Ernest, often played their clarinets on the church steps to attract new attendees. Ernest died early in 1892, at the age of eighteen, probably from tuberculosis. Several months later, Reverend Avery also passed away. Following their deaths, the then fifteen-year old Oswald assumed the paternal role for his youngest brother, Roy, a part he would also play some years later to his cousin, Minnie Wandell, who Roy often affectionately referred to as 'little sister.'
