The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He lead~th me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou a~t with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou annointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
23rd Psalm

PRECISE OF LIFE
Mr. Lawrence Frederick Ware, Sr., the youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Ware, departed his life of untiring years celestially on Wednesday morning, june 1, 1966 at the Macon Hospital.
Mr. Ware received his early training from the M. M. Burdell Elementary School, and his secondary
training from the Hud~on High & Industrial School.
Having an ardent mind to make use of these trainings and with the inner abilities possessed, he saw fit to serve the needs of his people, both family and friends, through his physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social strengths.
At an early age, he secured a position at the Bibb Manufacturing Co., No.1, serving on a local level for only a few years until higher achievements were established. Later, through the observance of his executive, he was called to a higher position as Clerk where he served in this capacity with efficiency and competency until his departure.
His life, being of celestiality and spiritual value caused him to work immeasurably as a faithful and diligent member of the St. Paul A.M.E. Church where he served in the capacities as the youngest Steward, first appointed to the Church, Class leader, and Secretary. He was also affiliated with the Gospel and Senior Choirs of St. Paul.
For a period of twenty-nine years, he was a devoted husband of Mrs. Dessie Ola Ware and also manifested his life with devoted attention to his sons and daughters: Lawrence F. Ware, Jr., Oslen K. Ware and Patricia Ware Childers as a faithful father, with a continuous love and devotion as a faithful brother.
