Virginian-Pilot  February 16, 1931
"UNCLE WARE," LONG IN SERVICE WITH POST FAMILY, DEAD

"Uncle Ware," aged Negro, died last night at a local hospital.  "Uncle Ware" was 
about 23 years old when the Civil War started.  He was born in Virginia and had 
never been out of Virginia in his life.

For the past quarter of a century, "Uncle Ware" was the servant of Mrs. Augustus 
Post, of "Idalia" Ocean View Avenue and Tenth Street, Virginia Beach.  He was 
active until a little more than a month ago.

Always a servant and a faithful one, "Uncle Ware" saw too many changes in the 
world to be changed himself by circumstances.  As to what his real name was, 
outside of the affectionate title of "Uncle Ware," even the old Negro himself was 
vague.  I was all too long ago.
