THE HISTORY OF CHURCH PEWS - 
   IN MEMORY OF - JOSEPH CRAWLEY MAYNARD 
   IN HONOR OF - MARTHA BARHAM MAYNARD AND BIRDIE MAYNARD PRESSON 

  Joseph Crawley Maynard (1880 - 1933) was the son of G.F. and Rosa B. 
Maynard, and brother to Birdie Maynard Presson (1882-1958). 

  Joseph farmed all his life and lived on a farm across the road from where 
Richard and Carol Andrews live today.  He and his wife, Martha, (1881-1968) 
had seven children - Fannie Bell, Susie, Joseph, Lucille, Sarah, Rebecca and 
Lawrence.  They often entertained the ministers after church and on other 
occasions at their home.  Two of the early Rocky Hock ministers they 
entertained were Reverend Ware (1915-1919) and Reverend Stiff (1922-1926). The 
pew in Rocky Hock Church was given by some of Joseph and Martha's children. 

  Joseph and Martha attended Rocky Hock Church all of their life and are 
buried in Rocky Hock Cemetery. 

  Birdie Maynard Presson, "Miss Birdie," also lived all of her life on the 
farm across the road from Richard and Carol Andrews.  She was married a very 
short time before she lost her husband.  Miss Birdie was very active in Rocky 
Hock Church.  She taught children's classes for many years and was active in 
the Ladies Aid Society.  It was Miss Birdie who was responsible for the 
stained glass window honoring her parents G.F. and Rosa B. Maynard.  She is 
buried in Rocky Hock Cemetery. 

  Thanks to Rebecca Maynard Gwaltney (Joseph and Martha's daughter and the 
granddaughter of G.F. and Rosa Maynard) for the pictures and information.
