The Good Templar
Carte de visite by Evans & Prince of York, Pa. A tailor born in Philadelphia, Pa., William Hopple Ware made his way to York, Pa., during the early part of the war. In late January 1864, he enlisted for a 5-year term as a hospital steward in the regular army. Assigned to the general hospital in York, he served in this capacity through the end of the war, and continued in the Office of the Surgeon General in Washington, D.C. He resigned about 1866, and made his way West with his wife, Ophelia, and children, and established himself as a minister and temperance activist associated with the Good Templars. His travels took him to Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and North Dakota. He died in 1894 at age 57. His wife and at least four children survived him.
