Born in Baltimore, Maryland, but was reared in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to the age of six years, when his parents removed with their family to La Salle county, Illinois. He there remained until 1867, when at the age of fifteen he came with his parents to Council Bluffs. Two years later, in 1869, he made a permanent location in Pottawattamie county. For two years he worked at farm labor and afterward engaged in teaching school in this county for four years. He likewise devoted one year to that profession in Nebraska and published a paper in Nebraska called the Sarpy County Sentinel. After a year, however, he sold the paper and, having prepared for the practice of law, was admitted to the Bar of Pottawattamie County in 1880. He engages in a general practice in all of the courts and has secured a liberal clientage. He is also attorney for the Eagle Life Association and for one term he served as county attorney. Mr. Ware belongs to both the Modern Woodmen of America and the Fraternal Order of Eagles. His political allegiance is given to the democracy and aside from serving as county attorney he has twice represented his district in the state legislature, having been elected in 1890 and again in 1892. He was once candidate on the democratic ticket for the office of judge of the fifteenth district. He is a member of the County and State Bar Associations and in both organizations has gained the good will and friendship of many of the prominent lawyers of the state.
