WILLIAM HENRY MAYBACH was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, November 10, 1858. He
received  his early education in the public schools of that county and took a
normal course which fitted him for teaching. He taught in the schools of Indiana
for three years and returned to his native state at the end of that time and
taught in the schools there for nine years. In May, 1885, he arrived in Barton
county and began the building of a home and the development of the land on the
southwest quarter of section 24 in Liberty township. This is the home place and
is now known as "Cottage Grove Farm" He owns in all 800 acres of land, three
quarters of it being in section 25 of Liberty township, and one quarter in South
Bend township. Of this land Mr. Maybach farms a half section, the remainder
being rented. Mr. Maybach was married in 1889 to Miss Ella Reichenbach of
Orville, Ohio. To this union there was born one son, Fred, who is now 21 years
of age. After finishing a course in civil engineering at the Agricultural
College at Manhattan he accepted a position with the Santa Fe Railroad and is
now in that company's employ with headquarters at Arkansas City. Mr. Maybach
survived his first wife and was married to Miss Cora Waddle of Barton County in
189S. They are the parents of two children: Carl Henry, eleven years of age, and
Marie Elizabeth, five years of age. Mr. Maybach has a well equipped farm, having
all the necessary outbuildings and a residence of 8 rooms. One of the features
of Mr. Maybach's farm is the orchard in which are found apple, pear, peach and
plum trees as well as many varieties of berries. Mr. Maybach has been most
successful in raising fruit as he uses modern methods and understands tree
culture. He maintains good live stock and owes his success to using the best
methods in the cultivation of the soil.
