“Mrs. Lon WARE, 45, of Huntington, passed away in a hospital in that city at 6:15 Wednesday evening. Death resulted following an operation for the removal of gallstones. Mrs. Ware had been in ill health for several months and on October 19th she underwent an operation from which she failed to rally. Her husband, Lon WARE, an Erie Railroad employee, dropped dead while at work, just five months preceding Mrs. Ware’s demise. Hattie Mae [MILLER], daughter of John and Ellen [ALSPACH] MILLER, was born on a farm near Rochester, Ind., on Oct. 30th, 1886. In April 1902 she was united in marriage to Wash HAMLETT, of Rochester. Five children were born to this union all of whom survive, namely, Mrs. Vernon NOYES and Mrs. Leo W. BEEHLER, both of this city, and Kline HAMLETT, Jonas HAMLETT and Arphelia Ann HAMLETT, all of Huntington. On June 28th, 1926 she was united in wedlock to Lon WARE, of Huntington, who preceded her in death. Besides her own children she leaves two step-sons, Floyd [WARE] and Berlyn WARE, of Huntington, and one brother and two sisters. Mrs. Ware had a host of friends in Rochester and Huntington in which cities she had resided throughout her entire life. Short funeral services will be held at the home in Huntington at 519 Webster Street at noon Friday. The body will then be brought to the Rochester United Brethren church where regular services in charge of Rev. D. S. PERRY will be held at 2:30 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Burial will be made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery.”
