Clinton Daily Advertiser Monday March 9, 1914 p. 3 Mrs. Augusta Lamb Ware answered the last summons to the great beyond at her residence, 318 Sixth avenue, in this city, at ten o'clock Saturday evening, after a serious illness of four months. Before that time she had suffered from impaired health for more than a year. Mrs. Ware was the daughter of Chancy Lamb and Jane Lamb and has lived in Clinton nearly all her life. Her age was seventy-one years, seven months and twenty-one days. She was born at Penn Yan, N.Y., August 13, 1842, and came west with her father and family in 1844, and the family settled near what is now Thomson, Ill. Seven years afterwards the family returned east and then again removed to Fulton in 1852, and finally settled at Clinton the year following, where she has since resided. She leaves surviving her five children, Fred E. Ware and Mrs. Frank W. Ellis of Clinton, Iowa, Mrs. Jennie Wainwright and E.M. Ware at Louisville, Ky., and A.L. Ware of Los Angeles, Cal., and three grandchildren. She is survived also by her sister, Mrs. Emma E. Young, and her brother, Lafayette Lamb, who live here. Mrs. Ware has many warm friends in Clinton, especially among the older residents, and her passing will cause them deep regret and profound sorrow. She was a woman of kindly and gentle manner, charitable, generous and warm hearted. Mrs. Ware has helped to make brighter the sunshine of life for some and assisted in a substantial way to the happiness and contentment of others. She will be sadly missed by her family and friends and by many who know of liberal generosity and kindness. Funeral services will be conducted at the residence, 318 Sixth avenue, at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon, March the tenth.
