Miss W. Ware Killed In Car Accident Sunday

Miss Ware Was For Some Time Connected With Law Firm In Winnfield

Funeral services for Miss Winsome Ware, 30 years old, who was killed when her
car collided with another at a street intersection, Alexandria, Sunday, were
held from the residence of her father, the Rev. E. O. Ware, Baptist minister,
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.  The cortege was one of the largest ever seen
in Alexandria, according to newspaper reports.

Miss Ware was one of the first women to receive a law degree from the
Louisiana State University.  She was a prominent member of the Alexandria bar.
Several years ago Miss Ware was connected with Moss and Peters, under the
firm name of Moss, Peters, and Ware, attorneys.  The firm was later  dissolved
and Miss Ware returned to Alexandria.

Formal charges of manslaughter were filed against M. Koblen, Alexandria
jeweler, following the death of Miss Ware.  It was alleged that Koblen's
negligence was responsible for the automobile accident in which Miss Ware
incurred injuries that led to her death an hour later.

Miss Ware's mother and sister, Mrs. W. L. Wharton, and two children, of Baton
Rouge, were in the car at the time of the accident.  Mrs. Ware is in an
Alexandria hospital suffering from painful injuries.  Mrs. Wharton and
children incurred only minor bruises.
