terested in the progress of all parts
of the church He was an honorary

Society, and he gave the lot at Bon
clarken for the young peopled cot

Mr. Ware's home stood ready and
open to the needs for advancing the
Kingdom. When a visiting preacher
or laymen came to the church. W. A. j
Ware was the first to extend a wel- '
come. We are not forgetting his In
terest in the city as Mayor and citi
zen but church always came first, j
Those who kntw him admired ?
him for his kindness and sympathy,
for his truthfulness and sincerity.
Although no flowers were requested

came for a Memorial in the church
from friends inside the church and
outside of his own church. ?
Mr. Ware was twice married. In
1885 he married Miss Lenora Fails,
who died in 1893. Three children

ny of Catawba County and five chil
dren Were born to them; Garrison,
Mary (Mrs. L. L. Shoupe), Samuel
Freno, Jnanita Ava, and Lena (Mrs.
J. L. McGlll.)
Mr. Ware's place will be hard to
fill in this community. Therefore be
it resolved:
1. That we bow in humble submis
slon to the will of Him who makes
no mistakes, and who does all things
well.
2. That we express our Sympathy
to his loved ones and friends. And
that a copy of this letter be sent to
jthe family, another be sent to the
Herald, and another be sent to the
church paper.
3. That We, as a Session and a
church, recognize our great loss in
his passing. .? (
?4. That a page In the minutes of;
the Session be dedicated to His mem- :
ory and that these resolutions be !
