Obituary from the Sequim Press

16 Jan 1915, p. 5, c. 12

William Henry Ware, a farmer and resident of Sequim for the past twelve years, died suddenly of heart failure early on Saturday morning at his home southwest of town. Mr. Ware was taken ill in the night and passed away in an hour and twenty minutes, dying in the arms of his wife. A doctor had been summoned but before he reached the house death had occurred. Deceased was born in Massachusetts and was 42 years old lacking six days. He had lived in Minnesota for a considerable period of his life and came from that state to Washington in 1903. He was married here in 1908, and his wife and adopted daughter survive him. He leaves also two brothers and a sister. His brother Ernest of Valier, Montana, arrived on Monday to attend the funeral and make a few days visit here. The funeral services took place at the residence of the deceased on Monday morning, conducted by Rev. C. E. Fulmer of Port Angeles, and burial was in the Sequim View cemetery. Mr. Ware was highly regarded by his friends and neighbors in and around Sequim. He was a man of kindly disposition and a fine character, upright and honorable in all his dealings with others, and in every respect a good neighbor and citizen. His sudden and untimely death is deeply regretted by his friends and acquaintances here.
