When she was three years of age her parents moved to Bonaparte and here she grew up and received her education in the Bonaparte school. At the age of seventeen she started teaching and was a very successful teacher for 28 years. She taught 10 years in the "Grammer Room" in the Bonaparte school and 18 years in the country schools of Van Buren county. In 1918 she retired from teaching, but never lost her love for the school room and her pupils. October 15, 1890, she was married to George Huffman Ryland and they made their home in Bonaparte until December 1909, when they moved to their newly built home on the Ryland farm, one and one half miles northeast of Bonaparte. Three months later her husband passed away from an injury. She continued to make her home on this farm and 12 years later on December 9, 1922, she was married to Minor Ware. He passed away June 9, 1937, and she continued to life in this home until her health became too bad to life alone. In March, 1943, she went to an adjoining farm to make her home with Goldie Miller and Faye Dawson, nieces of her first husband, and lived with them until she passed away, except for seven months, when she was in her own home again and four months in the hospital after she broke her hip. She was a woman of fine character, and high ideals, good and kind to her many friends. She is remembered with great affection by her former pupils. To her there was never a bad girl or bad boy in school. Some needed a little more care and guidance, but she loved them all. She belonged to the P.E.O. Sisterhood for 70 years, having joined Chapter P in Keosauqua, August 31, 1985, and later transferred her membership to Chapter AB, P.E.O. in Bonaparte. She attended the Methodist church, where she was organist for several years, while she lived in Bonaparte. All her immediate family have preceded her in death and her nearest living relatives are cousins. Funeral services were held, Friday, November 25, at the Methodist church with Rev. Richard Eis officiating. Burial was in Bonaparte cemetery. Source: Van Buren Co. Genealogical Society Obituary Book H, Page 97, Keosauqua Public Library, Keosauqua, IA
