CORRECTION:
Cornelia failed to list all five children.
They were Caroline, Elizabeth, Joseph Sterling, Jr., Lester Orestes, and
Jaquelin.
Ellen was, indeed, very beautiful. After
her marriage to Joseph Sterling Goddard (known as Sterling) on June 3, 1905,
they had their five children: Caroline, Elizabeth, Joseph Sterling, Jr., Lester
Orestes, and Jaquelin.

Sadly, Ellen’s first husband died
suddenly from pneumonia in 1916.
Two years later, she married for a second time on September 28, 1918. Her new husband was a widower named
Herbert Everett Reagan who also had five children from his first
marriage.
The family blended together beautifully and added two more sons along the
way - Benjamin and Herbert Reagan.
The large family now included Herbert’s children, bringing the total to ten offspring. The youngest child, Ruth, was only seven when the families merged into one. The other children were Archibald, Keturah, Babbie, Barabara, and Ruth.

Ellen delivered two more sons, Herbert Everett Reagan in 1919 and Benjamin
Franklin Reagan in 1921 - bringing the total to 12 children.

** Unfortunately, Ellen’s
second husband passed away also, but she married for a third time in October
1932. She met her husband, Mario
Saint-Cyr, while visiting in Italy.
He was descended from an Italian mother and French father.

** Jo actually
married more than once. His first
wife was Eunice Stalker and his second wife was Pauline Beardsley. Pauline had been one of the
bridesmaids in his sister’s wedding in 1905.
In 1908, the following article about Pauline appeared in the newspaper:
River-aide will entertain for Mrs. Pauline Beardsley
Ware at luncheon and bridge tomorrow.
Joe Ware died in April 1968 in Pecos, New Mexico.

CORRECTION:
no “e” in Macky.
According to my research, The Catalogue of Beta Theta Pi, 1905 for the
University of Illinois in Champaign lists both Josiah William Ware as an
orchardist and farmer in Dexter, New Mexico, and also Henry Waughop Ware as an
orchardist and farmer in Hagerman, New Mexico.
Henry, known as Hal, married Louise Christine Thode on March 27, 1912, in
New Mexico. Their children were
Margaret Ann Ware, Robert Macky Ware, and Henry Waughop Ware, Jr. In later years, Hal Sr. wrote a
family history and included wonderful information about all the Wares in New
Mexico.

“Margaret
took a nurse’s training course in Denver General Hospital. After graduation she
went to the Navy Hospital in San Diego and met Ted Ivers, a chief petty officer
in the Navy. They married in 1940 and raised two fine sons. Robert graduated from the Naval
Academy at Annapolis in 1937, took flight training, and went through the war
with Japan. After returning he married and later retired from the Navy. He and
his wife, Edie, now live in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Hal Jr. graduated from high school in Hagerman and went to New Mexico A.
and M. . . After time out for war
service In Italy in the Air Force, he graduated in 1947. He married Blanche
Egerton and they now live in Tucson, Arizona.”
(Ref. 103)
** Hal was very modest about
the accomplishments of his children.
His oldest daughter, Margaret Ann Ware, was born on September 8, 1913 in New
Mexico. On January 1, 1940, she
married Grant Perrin “Ted” Ivers, and the couple had two sons. Margaret, who graduated from nursing
school in Denver, Colorado, entered the U.S. Navy at the very dangerous time
when nurses were sorely needed because of the war. Even when, after marriage, she
resigned her naval commission, Margaret continued to selflessly serve others. After living an amazing 93 years, she
passed away in Texas on March 29, 2007.
Her obituary on the next page gives a wonderful overview of her life.
Both
Margaret and her husband are buried with honor in Arlington, Virginia.
Margaret Ware Ivers
WYLIE, Texas — Margaret Ware
Ivers, 93, formerly of Wylie, Texas, died Thursday, March 29, 2007, in Plano,
Texas.
Mrs. Ivers was born Sept. 8, 1913, in
Hagerman to Henry W. Ware and Louise Thode Ware. The Ware and Thode families
were early settlers in New Mexico's Pecos Valley. Mrs. Ivers graduated from Twin
Falls High School in Twin Falls, Idaho. After graduation from high school, she
went on to nurses training at the Colorado Training School in Denver. Upon
completion of nurses training, she entered the U.S. Navy and was assigned to the
U.S. Naval Hospital in San Diego, Calif. It was there that she met her future
husband, Grant P. "Ted" Ivers, a career navy man. The couple was married on New
Year's Day, 1940. While Mrs. Ivers resigned her Navy nursing commission, she
continued in her nursing profession. Her husband's various sea assignments
during World War II presented Margaret with many challenges and many nursing
opportunities, one of which included serving as a nurse at the German prisoner
of war camp outside Roswell. The first of her two sons, Donald Louis, was born
in May, 1941, in San Diego, Calif. At that time, Margaret moved back to New
Mexico and her family's farm outside Hagerman. Margaret's second son, David
Russell, was born in April, 1947, in Roswell. After the end of WW-II, and her
husband's retirement Navy, Margaret and family moved to Roswell, where they
lived for four years. Margaret was active in community and church activities. In
the early 1950s, the Ivers family moved to Artesia where Margaret worked for
many years in the offices of Dr. Louis Hamilton. Her husband, Ted, managed the
hardware branch of the Artesia Alfalfa Grower's Association. The couple was
active in community and church activities in Artesia. Following both Margaret
and Ted's retirements, they moved to Carlsbad and, subsequently, to El Paso.
Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, Ted, in 1998. She is survived by
two sons: Donald L. Ivers of Alexandria, Va. and David R. Ivers of Wylie, Texas;
two brothers: Robert M. Ware of Pensacola, Fla. and Henry W. Ware of Tucson,
Ariz.; five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Arrangements are pending
with Restland Funeral Home in Dallas. Burial will be in Arlington National
Cemetery in Arlington, Va.
The second child for Hal and Louise was a son - Robert Macky Ware – obviously
named in honor of his grandfather. Born
on March 8, 1915, Robert attended the Naval Academy at Annapolis and graduated
in 1937. He then took flight
training and was designated a Naval Aviator in 1940. To say that his career was stellar is
an understatement as he was awarded the Navy Cross twice during World War
II. He then commanded the aircraft
carrier USS BENNINGTON (CVS-20) from 1960-1961.
Rob first married Ruby Marie Schilling, and they had a beautiful daughter
named Barbara.

Rob and Edie
Rob’s second wife was
Edythe Picht
Ware; known as Edie. For a while
they lived in Guadalajara, Mexico.
They had one son named Thomas Hugh Ware, but he died November 4, 1969 at the
young age of 21. Robert and Edie
retired to Pensacola, Florida.

Edythe Ware died in 1991 and Robert Macky Ware died in 2010. They are both buried in Barrancas
National Cemetery in Florida.
The third child for Hal
and Louise was a son named Henry Waughop Ware, Jr., obviously in honor of his
father. Hal Jr., graduated from high
school in Hagerman and then attended college at New Mexico College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (A&M) where he graduated in 1947. He took some time off during those
college years to serve his country in the Air Force. He was sent over to Italy.
In
1946, Hal Jr., married Blanche Fredonia Egerton of Mesilla Park, New Mexico. The service was performed in St.
James Episcopal Church by Rev. Hunter Lewis who passed away two years after they
were wed. Blanche came from a family
with great artistic talents. Her
brother, Kearney Egerton, was a cartoonist and writer for the Arizona Republican
newspaper. He created the comic
strip known as “Biff Buff” – which was wildly popular. According to one writer, “his
drawings and tales of the state's history
made him an Arizona institution.”
(Ref. website)
Kearney
retired after more than 40 years with the Republic newspaper. He died at age 69.
Blanche’s
sister, Lillian Egerton, grew up in Las Cruces, and began painting beautiful
murals even at a young age. She
later moved to Dallas and ultimately, had a long career as a New York City
fashion illustrator for department stores such as B. Altman and Neiman Marcus. She and her husband lived in Park
Ridge, N.J., where they raised three children, while she continued her career in
fashion illustration. She continued
to study painting throughout her life.
Lillian died in 1998, but her remarkable murals can still be seen today
in the historic Amador Hotel in Las Cruces - which is in the process of being
restored. The building is 126 years
old, and eight murals that Lillian painted during the mid 1930’s have been
restored and covered with plexi-glass to protect them.
Hal and Blanche were married
on the 5th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor - Saturday,
December 7, 1946.
The church where they were married
Sunday Morning December 8, 1946 LAS CRUCES (N. M.)
SUN-NEWS Blanche Egerton,
H. W. Ware, Jr.,Wedding
Of widespread interest is the announcement of the
marriage, of Miss Blanche Egerton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Egerton of
Mesilla Park, to Henry W. Ware, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Ware of
Hagerman. They were united in a quiet ceremony yesterday afternoon in St. James
Episcopal Church at Mesilla Park. The Rev. Hunter Lewis read the service in the
presence of the relatives and intimate friends of the couple. Forming a
background for the ceremony were white flowers, greenery, and burning candles.
The bride wore a suit with which she wore matching accessories. After the
ceremony the couple left the city for the weekend but will return Monday to
reside in Mesilla Park. The bride, member of a prominent Las Cruces family, was
graduated from New Mexico AM in 1944 and for two years was connected with the
military science department at the college. Before entering AM she was a student
at the University of Arizona. Her sister, Miss Lillian Egerton, is a talented
artist, now doing freelance fashion work in New York. Her brother, Kearney
Egerton, is a sports writer and cartoonist on the staff of the Arizona Republic
in Phoenix. Mr. Ware attended New Mexico AM for 3 years before entering the
Army. He was commissioned in the Air Forces and served in Europe.
Inside the church
Hal Sr. and
Louise had lived in Idaho for about eight years, but they ended up moving back
to the land that Robert Macky Ware and Caroline had settled on originally; and
they made many improvements to the place.
Hal died in January 1983 and was buried in Artesia, New Mexico. Louise followed him two years later,
and they both are
laid to rest in Twin Oaks Memorial Park.

The youngest child Cornelia was
referring to was Alice Wilson Ware.
Caroline delivered her on June 25, 1891, before the move to New Mexico. Cornelia had written earlier that “of course, I have not been as closely
associated with them
[Robert and Caroline’s children] as the
Virginia cousins, except my dear Alice.
They all lived too far away for us to meet very often. She
obviously felt very close to Alice, however.
Alice married
Roger Sherman Elliott on April 16, 1910. Their children were Marjorie,
Elizabeth, and John Elliot. After
Roger died, Alice wed Arthur Henry Ebbets on May 26, 1937. His family was well-known in Brooklyn
- his uncle, Charles A. Ebbets, being the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the
famous Ebbets Field. Alice was the
third wife for Arthur.
Ebbets
Field
Alice’s daughter from her first marriage, Marjorie Elliott, married Dan
Carpenter. In an excerpt from his
obituary, it states:
“H. Daniel Carpenter, a
longtime leader in the national settlement house movement and for 30 years the
director of the Hudson Guild in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, died on
Feb. 7th in Tucson,
Arizona. He was 95 and had moved to
Tucson in 2002 after living in Chelsea for 71 years. His death was announced by the Hudson
Guild & the National Association on Drug Abuse Problems, of which he later
became president . . .
In 1932, Mr. Carpenter married
Marjorie Elliott, the founder's niece, who died in 1980. He is survived by their
son, Roger C. of Tucson, and a grandson.
Arthur Henry Ebbets died in 1959, but Alice Wilson Ware Ebbets lived until
October 1983 in New York. The
following is the obituary for Arthur.
