Ware, owner of the Ware Agency, conducting a successful and growing insurance business in Minneapolis, was born in Pipestone county, Minnesota, May 19, 1881, and is a son of Milton W. and Emma L. (McCarter) Ware, who were natives of Wisconsin and of Minnesota, respectively. The father was for many years a well known merchant of Pipestone, but is now residing in Spokane, Washington. The son, Pascal H. Ware, was educated in the public schools of Pipestone and in the University of Minnesota, and after leaving college in 1900 he turned his attention to the insurance business in Minneapolis, becoming connected with the firm of P. D. McMillan & Company on the east side. Later he was associated with the Retail Lumber­men's Insurance Association, doing special work on the road for a period of two years. In 1905 he went to Omaha, Nebraska, where he was identified with the Columbia Fire Insurance Company for a few years, but in 1909 he returned to Minneapolis and bought out the interest of P. D. McMillan, his former employer, in the firm of P. D. McMillan & Company. He thus became a partner of W. B. Boardman and the business was carried on under the firm style of Boardman & Ware until 1919, when Mr. Ware became a member of the Hood Agency, as its vice president. This business was so conducted until November, 1921, when the agency was reorganized in part under the name of the Ware Agency, and Mr. Ware has continued alone. He represents a number of the leading fire insurance companies of the country and does a large general insurance business throughout the United States, being a special representative of the underwriters at Lloyds of London, England. He is familiar with every phase of insurance in its broadest scope and his long experience has enabled him to develop an agency of large proportions, while the number of his clients is steadily increasing. His high standing in insurance circles is indicated in the fact that he was at one time chosen to the presidency of the Minneapolis Underwriters' Association On the 8th of January, 1905, Mr. Ware was married to Miss Calla Blanchard of Duluth, Minnesota, and they have one child, Edwin Blanchard. Mr. Ware belongs to the Delta Upsilon, a college fraternity, and is also identified with the Masons, loyally following the teachings and principles of the craft. In club circles, too, he has wide connection and is prominently known, belonging to the Minneapolis Athletic Club, the Old Colony Club, the Minneapolis Golf Club and the St. Anthony Commercial Club.
