"A few days ago Mr. W. E. WARE, a young man in this city, was stricken with paralysis, and his friends have been very uneasy in regard to his condition. Yesterday morning their worst fears were realized, when his soul passed into the spirit land. He was a son of Dr. R.A. WARE, and died at his father's residence about six miles into Alabama. He was about twenty-two years of age, and for some time has been engaged as a clerk at the shoe store of Mr. W.R. BEDELL…"
[Additional note] Mr. W. E. WARE was a brother of Mrs. James L. WARE, of this city, and she and her husband, Dr. WARE, have the sympathy of their host of friends in this community in their sorrow and trouble.
