Early life


Maynard was born in Waltham, Massachusetts on February 2, 1836. He was the son of Warren and Nancy (Holden) Maynard. He attended public schools in Waltham and became a jeweler's apprentice in Boston at the age of 15. He continued in this trade until he enlisted in the Union Army following the outbreak of the Civil War.[2]:183



Military service


Maynard enlisted as a private in Company D of the 13th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry on July 20, 1861. He fought at the Battle of Fredericksburg in Virginia on December 13, 1862. During the battle he ran through enemy fire to rescue another soldier who had been severely wounded in action. He received the Medal of Honor for this action in 1898. He was mustered out of the 13th Massachusetts on February 17, 1863.[2]:183


On January 17, 1864 he was commissioned a captain in the 82nd United States Colored Infantry. He was breveted to the rank of major on March 15, 1865 for meritorious service during the war. He was honorably mustered out of service on September 10, 1866.[2]:184



Later life


Maynard married Harriet E. Henry of Boston on May 5, 1868. He became a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts in 1875. He became the first sergeant of the company in 1879.[2]:184


Maynard was an active mason and became a Knight Templar in the York Rite. He was also a companion of the Massachusetts Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States.[2]:184


Maynard died in 1927, at the age of 91 and was buried in the Mount Feake Cemetery in Waltham.[3]
