FREDERICK B. WARE.—One of Imperial County's most progressive and influential
ranchers is Frederick B. Ware, the subject of this review. Frederick B. is the
owner of 227 acres of valubale [sic] land in Water Company No. 5, near Brawley.
For years he has been a prominent factor in the development of the Valley, and
is rightly esteemed and highly regarded by all who know him. Mr. Ware came to
this county during November, 1907, and was born at Johnsville, Plumas County,
California, October 25, 1883, the son of Silas and Fannie (Dolley) Ware. Mr.
Ware's father came to California in the early days and worked in the gold mines
in a period which was known mostly for its romantic abandon. Later he became one
of the state's pioneer ranchers, settling in Sierra County. At present the
parents of Mr. Ware are residents of Pacific City, Washington. The lineage of
the family traces back many years, members of which came to this country long
before the Revolutionary war, settling in Iowa, where Mr. Ware's grandfather
fought the redskins. The early education of Mr. Ware was obtained in the public
school of Sierra County, an institution which he left at the age of 17 years.
Later Frederick B. followed teaming and farming in the home town until he came
to Imperial County for the purpose of helping his brother-in-law, John Blinman,
to develop a ranch. It was while engaged in this pursuit that Mr. Ware bought
his present property, which in the beginning was rough desert country. At the
present time Mr. Ware has a finely appointed ranch which is a credit to the
Valley. It has reached a high and remunerative state of productiveness. Mr. Ware
follows general farming and is very successful in the raising of grain and
cattle. He keeps as high as forty-five head of livestock, which includes twelve
horses. He has planted 3000 eucalyptus trees, constructed a modern residence,
and has made numerous improvements, all of which command attention. Politically
Mr. Ware is a Republican, and has been trustee of the Mulberry school since it
was organized. Fraternally he is a member of the Native Sons of the Golden West.
He was married at Sierraville, California, January 1, 1907, to Miss Louise
Blinman, daughter of Fred and Maria Blinman, both pioneer ranchers and merchants
of California, residing at Sierraville, California. To this union four children
have been born: Alice, born at Sierraville, California; Orland, born in Imperial
County; Lyle, born in Sierraville, and Olga, born in Imperial County, on the
home place. Everything Mr. Ware has gained in this county has been wrought and
achieved through his individual efforts. No outside assistance, financial or
otherwise, came forward to start Mr. Ware down life's pathway, hence the
assertion that the result of Mr. Ware's efforts in the Valley represent in all a
personal monument of endeavor.
