Biography
A.G. Ware (February 21, 1816-February 27, 1863), a native of South Carolina, was a newspaper publisher and railroad agent.
In 1847, he moved to Dalton, Georgia, and published a weekly newspaper named the Mountain Eagle.
In 1852, Western & Atlantic Superintendent William L. Wadley appointed Ware as an agent for the railroad at Atlanta. At some point, he may have also worked as a mail clerk for the railroad.
He later worked as a traveling soliciting agent for the combined Macon & Western Railroad and Central Railroad. In 1858, he accepted the local agency of the Macon & Western, where he remained until he died in 1863.
He is buried in Atlanta’s Oakland Cemetery.
