Maynard, Frank Turner. Was born in Lyme, Connecticut, on April 26, 1832. Moved
to Conneaut, Ohio, in 1837, where he assisted his father on a farm till 1840;
then went to Madison, Indiana, where he remained until 1845, and where he
acquired a knowledge of the drug business in the establishment of his brother.
The succeeding four years he was in the drug house of G. W. Norton, at
Lexington, Kentucky, but left that place for Baltimore, Maryland, taking passage
on the ship "Andalusia," from this port, on April 22, 1849, for California,
arriving in San Francisco on September 27th of that year. He, in company with
four partners, brought out the large frame hotel from Baltimore, known as the
"Graham House," which they erected on the corner of Pacific and Kearny streets,
and in 1850 sold it to the city of San Francisco for one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, which they used for a city hall. Mr. Maynard was engaged in
the drug trade in San Francisco from 1851 to 1860. Here he married Miss Mary A.
Hoyer in 1860. Came to Petaluma, Sonoma county, in 1861, where he opened a drug
store, in which business he still remains. Has held the office of City Treasurer
from 1862 to 1868, and has been Secretary of the School Board, sixteen
consecutive years. Harry H., Eva E., and Grace Russell are the names of his
