DIED.— Lincoln C. Ware died last Saturday evening after a brief illness of two weeks, of typho-malarial fever, at the age of thirty-four years. The funeral occurred at the residence of J. H. Leavitt, Monday afternoon, Revs. Barrett and Windsor officiating.
Mr. Ware was born at Grandville, Ill, where he resided until 1863, from thence he moved to Chicago and then here, and has resided in this city ever since, a period of three years.
He leaves a mother, two brothers, Dr. Lyman Ware and Elisha Ware, of Chicago, and two sisters, Mrs. N. Sherwood, of Chicago, and Mrs. J. H. Leavitt, of this city, to mourn his loss.
The deceased was a pleasant and genial young man, always happy and cheerful, never uttering a cross word, and always ready and willing to aid and defend those, who needed assistance, and to see him taken from our midst when just in the bloom of manhood is sad indeed, and the bereaved relatives and friends have the universal sympathy of all.
Dr. Lyman Ware, Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Ware, Mrs. N. Sherwood, all of Chicago, were, in the city during the last few days of their brother's illness. Mrs. Ware, mother of the deceased, has been in the city since last August.

Mr. Lincoln Ware as a Tenor Singer
Mr. Ware was a very quiet, unostentatious singer. Indeed, he seemed to shrink from singing in public, while he greatly enjoyed a quiet season of song with his friends, in private; and I have heard him speak with special interest of singing on Sunday afternoon, at the home of his sister, where he breathed his last on Saturday evening, Nov. 24th. He was blessed with a very sweet, melodious voice, one of the finest tenor voices I have ever heard. It was not loud, nor strong, but very sweet, and blended perfectly with a good soprano and bass voice; and was always kept in due subordination and proportion to the other parts. In a large choir it could not be easily distinguished from others. But sitting directly in front of him, in church, as it was my privilege to do occasionally, it was a rare pleasure to listen to the clear, mellow tones, and to notice the evident sympathy of his mind with the sentiment both of the hymn and tune.
On one occasion, particularly, in the open air, with a fresh wind blowing, and a large crowd listening,—at the dedication of the soldiers' monument in Elmwood Cemetery,—his voice rose clear and fine above the windy tempest, to the highest note of the tune, with admirable force and precision. Who can doubt that with greater opportunities and culture, he might have risen to eminence in the noble art?
Next to the impression of Mr. Ware as a kind and courteous friend, my memory of him will be as a rarely fine tenor singer,—gone, we may hope, to join in the nobler songs of the temple above.
