Mrs. @ D, Maynard, one of the holders of the Seattic aed Ban Fran- cleeo Ratiway and Navigation con pany, the following officers were! elected to hb office until June 1, 1899: President, John Leary; Vice President, Pierre P.

As it is now, Mra. Maynard has no roof for her head, and is going from house to house, staying first at one place and then in another, For seve years Mrs, Maynard has been living in rooma in Coppin’s | water works on Columbia street, be- | tweon Ninth avenue and Terry av- enue, About four weeks ago work was commenced in tearing down the building, and ahe was forced to seek other shelter She i» now elghty-three years old, and although able to take care of herself in one sense of the word, she must have a dweiling. Being so old, & room must be procured on the «round floor. Since leaving Coppin's building she has datly been looking for a suitable place, but, #0 far, has been unable to find one. Mra. 8. Randolph has also been assisting her ogether with Mr, Pronch, secretary ot the chamber of commerce, For a number of years the Masons have looked after Mra. Maynard's welfare, paying her rent and keep- ing her supplied with provisions. Mrs. Maynard has household furni- ture, and is able to do her own work, Last year she earned over $100 from te sale of knitting work. It ® proposed that a subscription be taken among the people of the leity and with the money raised, |build Mra, Maynard a little one or two room house that she may call ber home. The Masons will see that he does not want for anything to at and wear, Mra, Maynard came to the Sound |in company with Dr, D, #. Maynard lim 1852 At that time she was the lwidow of Mr, Borrish, who died on Pt / the plains on hie way to the coast. She continued the Journey with Dr, Maynard. d In 1883 the couple were married Olympia. It was the | Orat wedding on the Sound in which jHenttle partion were interested, ihortly after the wedding the couple |came to Seattle. Dr, Maynard was ane of the principal owners of the town site of Seattle, He had 360 acres, and it embraced the land now south of Yesler way up to about Seventh avenue on the east, and the i tide flats to the west. He erected a log store, which was the first store nm Reattic, on the ete where now ate the New Engiand hotel. His property was centrally located, and as the country became settled, his land Increased in value. Dr. Maynard was a person who might have been called extravagant. At any rete, when he died, about 1872, his widow was left with very little property. Since his death she has managed to get along with the ald of the Masons, who helped her on account of her husband being a mem- ber of the order. Mra. Maynard is now too old to work, She is not as strong as she used to be, and although ing, cannot take care of herself alone. Her case is a pathetic one, and un- doubtedly steps will be taken at once to furnish her with a home, so that it can never be sald that one of Beatth ploneer women had to be sent to a poorhouse.
