S. Ware, died at her home on Main Street, about four o'clock, Friday afternoon Jan. 19, 1906. A week previous to her death, Mrs. Ware had the misfortune to fall down a flight of stairs at her home, the accident resulting in a broken limb and internal injuries; blood poisoning set in and took her precious life away almost before the relatives realized that her condition was dangerous. Mrs. Ware was born in Hatfield, Herfordshire, England, forty-five years ago, and was married in her native country to Dr. Ware. They came to this city about thirteen years ago. Soon after arriving here, Mrs. Ware began giving instruction in music and soon gained a large class of pupils who loved their teacher and mourn deeply the loss of so faithful a friend and instructor. For several years past, she has been a dealer in musical instruments and sheet music, and in all her dealings with her patrons she has been honest and upright, showing the excellent business qualities of her womanly character. Besides her husband, a son Cecil and a little daughter Constance, she leaves a niece Miss Nine Bazley and two nephews, Ernest and Victor Bazley, who have made their home with their aunt for several years past, and to them she has been as motherly as to her own children. Many sorrowing friends extend heart felt sympathy to the family in their hour of so great an affliction. The funeral services were held at St. John Episcopal church; Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. M. G. Argus officiating. The music was rendered by the vested choir. The Royal Neighbors Society, of which Mrs. Ware was a member, attended in a body; the capacity of the church was not sufficient to accommodate the large circle of friends that gathered to pay their respects to so true and faithful a friend and neighbor. The floral offerings were numerous and elaborate. The remains were tenderly laid at rest in Maple Hill cemetery.

January 25, 1906, Evansville Review, Evansville, Wisconsin A SAD PARTING Mrs. Agnes Ware, wife of Dr. C. S. Ware, whose serious fall was mention in this paper last week, quietly passed away Friday afternoon, Jan. 19, 1906, about 4 o'clock. We are seldom called upon to chronicle a more sad affair than this, of one in the full vigor of middle life, being cut off from family and friends so suddenly, which is certainly a severe blow to all. Mrs. Ware was widely known throughout this entire section of the country as a very successful teacher of music, as well as dealer in musical instruments, and she leaves a wide circle of scholars who will be much grieved over this early parting with a true friend, as well as teacher. Her fall, although quite serious, such a thing as a fatal result was wholly unlooked for, at least by the general public and her many friends, until the sad tidings was announced Friday evening, which was not only a sad shock to the immediate relatives, but this entire community in which she was very highly respected, being a kind, generous neighbor and friend to all. Many could hardly believe the report when it was announced that she had passed away from an internal injury which failed to develope seriously until the day previous to her death. The deceased was born in Hatfield, Herefordshire, England, forty five years since, came from her foreign home to this city thirteen years ago, where she has since resided, following the occupation of music dealer and teacher in which she has been very successful, always enjoying good general health up to this fatal accident. She leaves her husband, a son Cecil, a daughter Miss Constance, and a niece Miss Nina Bazley, and two nephews, Ernest and Victor Bazley, whom she has brought up from early childhood, as a mother, and they mourn her as much; in fact she leaves this a heart broken family who have the deepest sympathy of this entire community in their terrible bereavement. The funeral was one of the largest attended every held in this city, which occurred at St. John's Episcopal Church, of which she was a member. Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, with Rev. Myron G. Argus officiating, and the vested choir rendered fine music and all that was mortal of this friend and neighbor found a last resting place in Maple Hill cemetery of this city.
