In memory of Mary Hammond Ware, born at Ft. Monroe in 1865 and died here in 1906. During her years at Ft. Monroe she was a devoted chapel member where she taught a Sunday School Class, played the organ, sang in the choir, and was president of the Ladies' Auxiliary. Her father was Superintendent of Construction for the batteries and harbor defense. He was originally the post blacksmith. Mr. Ware cut the shackles from Jefferson Davis before Davis was moved from his cell in the casemate to Carroll Hall (no longer standing). Her brother, Captain S. H. Ware supervised the building of fortifications at Pearl Harbor. Originally the window had the proper middle initial, "H," after the fire of 1933, the craftsman identified the letter as "A."

In memory of Helen Fargo Squires, who was married in the chapel, 11 October 1881, and died at Ft. Monroe in 1886. Her husband, Lieutenant Herbert G. Squires, had received his commission by referral of President Rutherford B. Hayes. Lieutenant Squires fought at Wounded Knee. The Adjutant General of the Army said, "There is not probably a young officer in service who has been more indulged on his personal requests than has Lieutenant Squires. He has not shown one particle of military spirit but rather the reverse." He left military service in 1891 to join the diplomatic service and served in Peking during the Boxer rebellion. (Additional comments about Helen Squires will be found elsewhere in this booklet.)
