What the source supports

That Rev. Sigismund S. Ware of Berryville was named in 1923 as the father of Cornelia Ware Anker.

Uncertainty

Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. He is known here only from his daughter's wedding notice, which does not name his church. His daughter has no record here, so no kinship record is made.
