JOHN ROLAND WARE
John Roland Ware, whose identification with the Minneapolis bar covers eighteen
years, is a lawyer of pronounced ability whose understanding of the principles
of jurisprudence is clear and comprehensive and who has been accorded an
extensive clientage. His birth occurred in Oronoco, Minnesota, on the 18th of
January, 1878, his parents being Milton W. and Emma L. (McCarter) Ware, the
former a native of Wisconsin while the latter was born in Pennsylvania. They
removed from Waupun, Wisconsin, to Minnesota, about the year 1887. The father
established himself in the mercantile business in Pipestone, Minneapolis, and
elsewhere, and was thus successfully engaged until the time of his retirement.
He is now living in Seattle, Washington.
John R. Ware began his education in the public schools of Pipestone, Minne­sota,
passing through consecutive grades to his graduation from the high school with
the class of 1897. He then entered the University of Minnesota, which con­ferred
upon him the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1901, upon the completion of his
academic course, while in 1904 he received the degree of LL. B. from the same
institution, after three years of study in the College of Law. It was in 1904
that he was admitted to the Minnesota bar and since that time has been actively
engaged in practice in Minneapolis, in association with different partners. He
enjoys high standing in professional circles and has membership in the Hennepin
County Bar Association, the Minnesota State Bar Association, the Academy of
Political Science and the American Bar Association. Moreover, he is an officer
and director in numerous enterprises and his cooperation and counsel are eagerly
sought and greatly valued in the different business concerns with which he is
identified.
In May, 1921, Mr. Ware was united in marriage to Miss Beulah Tod of
Minne­apolis, a daughter of Alexander Tod and a representative of a prominent
Scotch family.
Mr. Ware took a helpful part in war work in Minneapolis, served as a member of
the legal advisory board and had entered the Citizens Training Camp at Camp
Steever in preparation for active duty, when the armistice was signed.
Fraternally he is identified with the Masons and the Elks and he is also a well
known member of the Minneapolis Club, the Minikahda Club, the Lafayette Club,
the University Club of St. Paul and the Minneapolis Automobile Club. His various
activities and interests have brought him a wide acquaintance and the sterling
worth of his character has gained for him high regard.
