A Pioneer Gone

Grandma Ware Laid to Rest in South Boston Cemetery

Mary S. Aldrich, daughter of Stephen and Martha Aldrich was born in Macedon,
Wayne County, New York, Oct. 13, 1828.  She was married to Julius M. Ware in
Berlin township, Dec. 27, 1847, residing there for a number of years and moving
to Boston township in 1857, which has since ben her home and where she resided
with her youngest daughter until called to her Eternal Home June 8, 1922.  Her
husband preceded her August 24, 1874.  

She was the mother of four children, Stephen A. Ware, Cynthia I. Hughson, Emma
L. Story and Alice E. Kyser.  

She was of a family of ten children all preceding her but one brother S. A.
Aldrich of Lansing.  

She has lived trusting in her Saviour over forty years.  

She is survived by three children, Stephen A. Ware, Emma L. Story and Alice E.
Kyser, six grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.  She was one of the
early pioneers of the country, having settled on the farm where she died when it
was a wilderness, helping to transform it to what it now is.  

She was a staunch friend to everyone and her friends were innumerable, as has
been demonstrated by her long life in this community.  All who had Grandma Ware
as a friend were fortunate.  

One great comfort and pleasure to her was her children and grandchildren
residing near her.  She has dearly loved and enjoyed the little girl who was
taken into their home.  Her children and grandchildren will always hold her in
sweet remembrance.  

It may be said of her “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou
into the Kingdom of God.”  

Funeral services were held from the home Wednesday afternoon at 1:30, conducted
by Rev. F. E. Chamberlin of Alto.  She was laid at rest in the family lot by her
five grandsons in South Boston cemetery.  Relatives from away were S. A.
Aldrich, Fred Hughson and wife of Lansing, Jay and RayWare and families of
Freeport, Rufus and Steve Aldrich and wives of Vermontville and Joel Aldrich and
wife of Grand Rapids.
