HENRY MAIER, SR.

   Among the influential and highly respected residents of Burlingame, none is
held in greater esteem than Henry Maier, Sr., who has been a resident of this
city continuously for twenty-five years, during which period he has ably
sustained a reputation as an expert landscape gardener, many splendid examples
of his work being in evidence throughout this section of the county. He was born
in Germany on the 30th of March, 1862, and was reared and educated in that
country, where his family had lived through many generations. In 1887 he
emigrated to the United States, locating in San Francisco, where he lived until
1902, when he came to Burlingame. He has devoted his life to landscape gardening
and his services have been in constant demand, his artistic taste and technical
knowledge of the subject having long been recognized as being of a superior
order. Since 1924 Mr. Maier has been head gardener of the grounds at Leland
Stanford, Jr., University at Palo Alto, driving to and from his work every day.

   In San Francisco, in 1892, Mr. Maier was united in marriage to Miss Annie
Hauser, who was born in Germany in 1870, and died March 3, 1917. To them were
born three children: Mrs. J. W. Leggett, Henry C. and Herman L., all of whom
reside in Burlingame. Mr. Maier is a member of Burlingame Lodge, A. F. & A. M.;
the Peninsula bodies of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, and San Mateo Lodge,
B. P. O. E. His religious connection is with the First Methodist Episcopal
church of this city. He has at all times shown a deep interest in the civic
progress and welfare of Burlingame and is rendering effective service as a
member of the board of grammar school trustees.   Kindly and generous in
disposition, straightforward and unaffected in manner, he enjoys a high place in
the esteem of his fellowmen and is regarded as one of the best citizens of his
community.
