Héctor Canavery (1854  – c. 1920) was an Argentine politician and military man, who took part in the military campaigns carried out by the Army against the Indians in the territory of Patagonia.[1]

He was a pioneer of the Police of the Province of Buenos Aires, where he served as commissary of Quilmes and head of the Comisaría de Órdenes (Commissariat of Orders) of La Plata.[2] He also dabbled in politics, serving as a legislator for the National Autonomist Party.[3]

Biography

news of The Standard and River Plate News on March 17, 1883.

Canavery was born in Barracas, Buenos Aires, the son Francisco Canavery, a Lieutenant of Cavalry, and Orfelia Segrestán, belonging to a family of French ancestry.[4] He completed his primary and secondary studies in the city, and enlisted in the (Ejército Nacional) National Army for the year of 1873.

Héctor Canavery served as Second lieutenant of the 2nd Line Cavalry Regiment of Argentine Army. He took part in military expeditions in the Patagonia, including the Campaign to the Río Negro of 1875. His appointment as lieutenant of the 2° Regimiento de Caballería de Línea was by signature of then-President Nicolás Avellaneda and his Minister of War Adolfo Alsina.[5]

During the 19th century it was common for army personnel to perform police functions. Canavery served as officer of the Police of the Province of Buenos Aires for several years. In 1883 he was commissioned to clarify the murder of a citizen of British origin, which occurred in the town of Merlo. This news was published in the newspaper The Standard and River Plate News of March 17 of that year.[6]

Towards the mid 1880s he was appointed to the position of Chief of police in the town of Quilmes, and later it was designated to occupy the Commissariat of orders of the City of La Plata.[7]

He also dedicated himself to politics, militating in the Partido Autonomista Nacional, and holding the position of legislator of Buenos Aires province in 1892.[8] As a member of Congress he was a colleague of Benito Lynch,[9] a prominent politician of the National Autonomist Party, who was a direct descendant of Justo Pastor Lynch.[10]

In 1896, Lt. Héctor Canavery and his brother Lt. Col. Saturnino Canavery, were appointed to integrate the Plana Mayor of reserve forces of the Argentine Army.[11] They were cousins in third degree of Tomás Canavery, a military chaplain who participated in the War of the Triple Alliance, and Angel Canavery, a military man, who had served during the Conquest of the Desert as Lieutenant in the 1° Regimiento de Línea.[12]

Héctor Canavery served in the Argentine Army for sixteen years and nine months, obtaining his retirement with the position of Lieutenant in 1900.[13] He was granted his retirement with the enjoyment of fifty-two percent of his salary by decree signed by Julio Argentino Roca.[14]

He performed administrative tasks in the Arsenal Principal de Guerra towards the beginning of the 20th century.[15] In 1905, he was recognized by the National Government for his services rendered during the military campaigns in the margins of Río Negro and Neuquén.[16]

Family

The town of Quilmes, c.1900

During his childhood, Héctor Canavery and his family lived in a house located on the street Cuyo (now Sarmiento) 467, in the exclusive neighborhood of San Nicolas.[17] He belonged to illustrious families of Creole and European roots. His great-grandfather was Francisco Pelliza, a soldier of Italian descent, who had participated in the Argentine War of Independence.[18]

He had several brothers, among them Guillermo Canavery, baptized on December 12, 1861 in the Parish Nuestra Señora de Montserrat.[19] His sister, María Luisa Canaveri, baptized in the Parroquia de la Inmaculada Concepción of Constitución, was goddaughter of Gregorio Lemos,[20] son of Juan Gregorio Lemos, a patriot who served under General José de San Martín.[21]

Héctor Canavery was married on June 15, 1885 in the Parish of Inmaculada Concepción of Quilmes to Clara Flores, daughter of Vladislao Flores and Pastora Sastre, belonging to a Creole family of Spanish roots. He and his wife were the parents of Héctor Raúl, Enrique Guillermo (godson of Enrique S. Quintana), Mario César, Lila, Esther and Julio Gustavo, who was the godson of Florencio Monteagudo and Dolores Tejedor.[22]

The Canavery family was rooted in the town of Quilmes since the colonial period. They were neighbors of distinguished members of the British community in the area, including the family of Eduardo Clark[23] and Julio César Sanders.[24]

His great grandfather, Juan Canaverys, a lawyer of Irish ancestors, belonged to families from southern France and northwest Italy. His maternal surname Segrestán from the Old French "secrestein", has its etymology in the guardian or custodian of the church (occupational surname). The oldest record about this surname is found in a Thomas Segrestan, inhabitant of London in the 13th century.[25]

Pierre Segrestán (Hector Canavery's grandfather) born in Paris, had arrived to Río de la Plata near 1830. He was married in Buenos Aires to María Uriarte, born in San Luis Province,[26] belonging to a traditional family of Basque and Creole roots.[27] Several members of the Canavery and Segrestán family were established in the southern area of Greater Buenos Aires, including Lomas de Zamora.[28]

In 1920, Héctor Raúl Canavery Flores had owned a fine poultry farm, located in the town of Banfield, southern area of Greater Buenos Aires.[29] He appeared at the exhibitions of the Sociedad Rural Argentina, being the winner of several awards granted by that institution.[30]

Mario César Canavery Flores, was married to his relative, María Petrona Amoedo Vilaró, daughter of Hilario Amoedo Dupuy (son Felipe Amoedo) and Amalia Florencia Vilaró Quirno.[31]
