With her parents she moved to Indiana in 1838. She was converted and joined the Union Baptist Church at the age of 12. Was married to J.F. Maynard Jan. 29, 1854. Came to Green Co. in 1867 and settled, but remaining a few months, when they moved to Marion, Iowa. They lived here until April, 1868, then moved back to Albany, where they have since resided. There were 6 children born to them, 4 daughters and 2 sons. Three of these remain--Mrs. E.P. Atherton, Mrs. C.T. Bartlett, and Mrs. H.A. Rogers, who along with their father, mourn their loss. Sister Maynard some years ago joined the M.E. Church, of which she remained a faithful member until her death. Deceased was a woman somewhat retiring in her disposition--a home body, yet always faithful of others; and while others wrought in a more public way whe toiled on in her quiet manner through the years to the last. Hers was a Christian life, not so much of the sensational though none the less sincere and earnest. As long as she could she attended church regularly. No pastor ever failed to find a friend in Sister Maynard. A devoted wife, an indulgent mother, the family held a sacred place in her heart, and for their interest and welfare her plans were ever made; even during her protracted illness, when her failing strength made her life a burden, she was ever thinking of her dear ones. Grandchildren will cherish her memonry as they recall the family gathering and the well laden Christmas tree. She suffered patiently during the two years of her sickness. May 12th she said goodnight on earth and good morning in heaven. C.C.S.
