HON. H. B. MAYNARD.
Judge H. B. Maynard, who located in Fayette county in 1854, died at the ripe old age of eighty-one years, in September, 1907. He was born in Holdren, Massachusetts, October 12, 1826, and commenced the study of law and was admitted to the bar in Massachusetts. When about twenty-eight years old he came West, that being in the autumn of 1854. He finally decided to locate permanently in Washington C. H. Soon after his arrival he was engaged to teach the school on the comer of Market and Hinde street. Two years later he formed a law partnership with Judge Briggs, which business relation continued until the death of Mr. Briggs.
After the Civil War came on, Mr. Maynard volunteered as a member of the One Hundred and Fourteenth Ohio Regiment and soon rose to be lieutenant-colonel of his regiment, serving with marked distinction. During the famous Morgan raid through Ohio, he re-enlisted as colonel of the regiment raised for home defense against the rebel raider. After the war had closed he resumed his legal pursuits, and was elected as prosecuting attorney, which position he held until 1869. About that date he formed a partnership in law with Hon. H. L. Hadley, and the firm took a conspicuous part in the many cases brought about by the great 1873 panic. In 1894, upon the death of Judge Ace Gregg, Governor William McKinley appointed him to fill the vacancy on the bench. At the next election he won out for the judgeship by a majority of two thousand four hundred. He was president of the board of education a number of years and was the gentleman who named Sunnyside school building. He was also a member of the board of trustees for the County Children's Home.
