Died.
At his home near Hershey,Neb. Oct. 5, 1901, William Montgomery Ware, aged 53 years, 1 month and 13 days.
Mr. Ware was born near Dublin Henry county, Ind., Aug.22,1848. When less than fifteen years of age he enlisted in the 7th Indiana Cavalry and served nearly three years, being discharged at the close of the war. In his early manhood he came to eastern Iowa, and in 1872 was united in marriage to Mrs. Mary Anderson. In a few years they moved to eastern Nebraska, then in 1886 to Lincoln county where they settled at their present home.
Mr. Ware was a consistent Christian. For many years he was a member of the United Brethren church but since coming here united with the M.E. church, there being no U.B. organization here. He was an active and beloved member of the church here, being one of the trustees since the erection of the church.
Mr. Ware had been in poor health for more (unreadable) ago was taken ill with catarrhal fever and congestion of the lungs. Everything possible for his recovery was done, but all efforts were in vain and Saturday morning at 9 o’clock he went peacefully Home. After being told Friday that he could not live he said, “God’s will be done,” and calmly gave directions as to his funeral, the settling of his estate, comforted each loved one individually, left messages for absent ones, and without fear or doubt entered the dark valley.
He leaves a wife, four sons, six daughters, and a sister, besides more distant relatives and hosts of friends to mourn his loss. all of his own family was with him at the time of his death excepting one son who had been here but, thinking his father out of danger, had returned to his home in the eastern part of the state.
The funeral was held at the home Sunday afternoon and in spite of the heavy rain was attended by a large number of sympathizing friends. Rev. Gilpin, pastor of the M.E. church, assisted by Rev. Evans of the Baptist church, conducted the funeral service, and the remains were laid to rest in Riverside cemetery.
Sympathy is extended to the sorrowing family and may they find comfort in his dying words, “Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
