I do not have an obituary for Garland, but I'll tell you what I know: Born 1930 in Aventon, NC the only child of Wavely Bancroft Avent and Betty Ellen Baker. He was a graduate of UNC-CH and leaves behind his wife Ann and children Tony and Marie.He was buried at Buckhorn UMC in Chatham Co, NC just up the road from the site of Avent's Ferry. Wavely Avent was my grandfather Spencer Garland Avent's brother.
Ann has been gathering up all of Garland's notes and files for me. He wanted to make sure that someone in the family kept the information. I will get this from Ann soon and will try to go through it all as soon as possible in case any "cousins" have questions. I will never be as good at it as Garland was, but I'll sure try. If you ever spoke with Garland you know that he could rattle the whole family history off faster than you could write it down.
