Charles William Pavey II was born May 13, 1906 to father Charles William Pavey and mother Emma Metzger Pavey

A graduate of Columbus North High School, Pavey received a Bachelor of Science from Ohio State in 1926. He promptly followed that with a medical degree from the class of 1928. At the time of his death he was the youngest man to ever graduate from The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

He married Gwendolen Rector. They had three children: Charles III, Jonathan and Nancy.

Pavey's medical career spanned 57 years; 43 of which were spent as a member of the OSU faculty in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He also unofficially held the title of most experienced obstetrician in Columbus. In his 57 years of service, Pavey is said to have delivered more than 25,000 babies, and no one is disputing this claim. Celebrated journalist Walter Winchell even nicknamed Pavey "the Baby-Catcher" in a 1932 column for the Ohio State Journal. Pavey was revered in his community for his tireless work ethic and love for the area where he spent his entire life.

An interest of Dr. Pavey's was Dr. Korell's discovery in the 1896 of glandular fever. Dr. Korell was the first U. S. physician to recognize and describe this widespread disease, which even today is a mystery.

Pavey established Eventide, Inc., a rental management company, in 1937 as a side project to his medical practice. He hoped to preserve the community in which he grew up. Eventide's properties are located in the 2200 block of North High Street, north of Lane Avenue and south of Oakland Avenue. It was Pavey's hard work and determination that restored the appeal and charm to the century-old houses he owned. Eventide established a reputation for reasonable rent and punctual responses to maintenance requests. The realty business became a family affair when, 20 years after Pavey started the company, his son joined Eventide and worked there until his death in 2001.

His spirit will live on in the houses he restored and the thousands of people he brought into the world. He will be remembered by the people around him as a diligent worker who never ceased from improving the place he called home.

Dr. Pavey died February 17, 2004 from natural causes in his home at age 97.
