George Alfred Avison was born May 6, 1885 at Norwalk, Connecticut, the son of Alfred Avison, a businessman and selectman of the town, and Ardella Daniels Avison. He attended local schools where as a young boy he admitted to writing adventure stories in his school blank books, with illustrations on every page.
