Individual Details
Josiah William Ware
(19 Aug 1802 - 13 Aug 1883)
"It is said that he was "eminently useful as a citizen, both in private and public life. His methodical and industrious habits enabled him for many years to render important services to his friends and neighbors, who he was always happy to assist. Cheerful and buoyant, his presence was hailed with delight by the young , in whom he always seemed to feel a special interest, and who looked up to him with pleasure and respect. His was an old age free from those infirmities of body and mind which so often mar the happiness of persons in advanced life, and make the burdens to themselves and all about them"

The Baltimore Md. Sun adds this tribute:
" Col. Ware, during the magisterial system, was for many years a member of the court of his county. It was stated at the bar today that although hundreds of cases came before him he was never reversed. The court adjourned at 12 o'clock today until 10 o'clock tomorrow as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased. Before the war, Col. Ware was the most extensive sheep-raiser in the valley of Virginia and did more than any man in this section to improve the breed of sheep by importing from England".
