“The widow of the late Dr. Charles Eliot Ware, Mrs. Elizabeth Cabot Ware, left by her will a legacy of $4,000 to the kindergarten. Of this amount we have received from the. executor of her estate, Mr. William Minot, the sum of $3,500, the balance of $500 having been paid to the government of the United States for war taxes. Mrs. Ware was so largeminded, so thoughtful and so liberal in her bestowal of aid upon educational, scientific and charitable societies that her death caused sincere mourning in the community. Both she and her daughter, Miss Mary L. Ware, have been sturdy friends and constant contributors to the funds of the infant institution, and their names will occupy a high position in the ranks of the great benefactors of the blind for all time to come.”
