He left a wife and three children." -- article is from the 'Evening Item' Richmond, Indiana (Wayne County) dated: Dec.19,1881 -- ( 'consumption' was the name for tuberculosis ) -- (above death notice was submitted by t.garlow and Leah Huddleston) ---------------------------------------------------------- One of John Ware' brothers, James Monroe Ware, died the year before John, in 1880. James was also a young man at death, slightly older than John. As of this time, I have not found the burial of James, or the cause of death. I have to suspect that it possibly could have been tuberculosis, as it was with John. James also, could very well also be buried in the South Lawn Cemetery, or East Cemetery, both in Dublin, Indiana. James left a wife, Sarah P. Reynolds/Ware, and 2 children, who after his death, lived with his wife's grandparents, Daniel Reynolds and Margaret, who live next to the Ware families by Dublin, Wayne County, Indiana. ---- **Note Attached to the right, is the two page marriage-proposal letter, that John sent to his future wife, Mary Alice 'Allie' Huddleston. ('click' on the letter to enlarge it and to get to the 2nd page, of which a thumbnail size, will be above it, then 'click' on the thumbnail 2nd page ) The original was written on June 22, probably 1875. They were married on Sept. 4, 1875 in Wayne Co, Indiana. ------------ John grew up on his father's (Isaac Newton Ware), farm. John's mother, Johannah Groenendyke/Ware, died when he was 3 1/2 years of age. Isaac, two years later, married Mary Ann Huddleston, whose husband had died the same year as Johanna. Mary Ann's, two daughters, also came to live with the now combined family, on the farm. John's oldest brother, William, joined the 7th Indiana Cavalry, after the start of the Civil War, at age 15. John had became a 'book-agent' at the time of his writing this letter. A book agent works for publishers, traveling and going door to door (or farm-house to farm-house) selling books. This period of time after the War, was the 'heyday' of the book agents. They sold a tremendous number of books, for the publishers. John's 1st-cousin was also listed on the 1880 census as a 'book agent', after he moved in with John's widowed step-mother. The future wife of John Ware, Mary Alice Huddleston, was the granddaughter of John Huddleston. John H. was a former Quaker, and he was very much against drinking alcohol, and smoking tobacco. In his business dealings, it was written that John H. would refuse to transport any alcohol or tobacco for anyone, with his horse and wagons. I believe the above is useful background information needed to understand the apology from John Ware, in the attached letter to Mary Alice. Also usefull information in understanding the huge apology in the letter, comes from the 1873 and 1874 newspaper articles from the closeby town of Cambridge City. A close relative of the Ware family had been involved in an alcohol fueled shooting of his own best friend. John apparently is apologizing for his own prior stubborn unwillingness in having to promise to his likely future wife, her parents and grandparents, to never "drink, smoke or chew". The relative's shooting event articles are not long before the time of the letter writing. ----------------------- The below link is to the Indianalandmarks.org web site, for the Huddleston House. John Ware's wife-Mary Alice 'Allie' Huddleston; her father Henry Huddleston inherited the "Huddleston house", from his father John Huddleston, who was the original builder of the house-Inn. Mary may have lived in the house for a short while before her marriage to John. As a very interesting side note, 1. John Ware's father, Isaac Newton Ware, after the death of Isaac's first wife, Johanna Groenendyke, had married Mary Ann Huddleston, the daughter of John Huddleston, the original owner of this house. 2. A brother (David Groenendyke) of John Ware's mother (Johanna) married another daughter (Phoebe) of the same John Huddleston. 3. John Addison Ware, later married the niece, Mary Alice Huddleston, of his step mother, Mary Ann Huddleston. Family researchers have been very rightly mistaken over the similarity of the names, and the relationships of all of the above. Many hundreds of hours of 'computer' research, along with the many decades of our family's research and knowledge, have unraveled the confusion. The Isaac Newton Ware farm, was just down the road from the Huddleston farm. And more than likely, all of the above mentioned, as well as Isaac's other children, had been in that house, for family gatherings, etc. The interesting aspect, is that the house/museum is still there, thanks to the great people of Wayne County, Indiana, and the Indiana Landmarks. ----- http://www.indianalandmarks.org/HistoricSitesToursEvents/HuddlestonHouse/Pages/default.aspx ----------------------------------------------------------------- (above page researched, written by t.garlow
