The elements of character
by Mary G. (Mary Greene) Ware
About the author
Born in Massachusetts in 1818, Mary G. Ware is also listed in library and bibliographic records as Mary Greene Ware and Mary G. Chandler. Reliable catalog and reference sources connect her with books including The Elements of Character (1854), Thoughts in My Garden (1863), and Death and Life (1864).
Her writing centers on character, conduct, reflection, and consolation. Even from the titles alone, you can see the range of her interests: the formation of personal character, the spiritual and emotional meanings of everyday life, and the search for comfort in the face of loss.
She died in 1907. A confirmed portrait was not available from the sources I found, so no profile image is included here.
