General Notes: Husband - William A. Maitland

---

He was born on the old Andrew Maitland (Sr.) homestead near Barr's Corners, Rockland Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and obtained a common school education in the neighborhood. When a young man he was in Richland Township for a short residence, 1866-68, during part of that time clerking in the store of Shippen & Maitland at Stapley Furnace, his brother being a member of the firm and Mr. Shippen the owner of the furnace. In 1869 he made his home in Rockland Township again, turning his attention to farming, which was his principal business throughout life. On his return to Rockland Township he secured two acres of the old homestead property, building the residence which he and his family occupied for nineteen years, all his children being born there. He then sold the place to his brother. Meantime he had become prominent as a township official, having entered upon the duties of constable and tax collector (the two offices were then one) in 1883, which he discharged very capably. In the fall of 1887 he was the Republican nominee for county commissioner, and successful, moving to Franklin in January, 1888, for the more convenient performance of his new obligations, and he was honored with reelection in 1890, serving two terms in succession. His associates on the board, of which he became president, were Samuel McKinney and James Patterson, for the first term, and Mr. McKinney and William Cross during the second term. It was during his incumbency that the home and barn on the County Farm were destroyed by fire, only the walls being left standing, and they were rebuilt promptly; the barn has been burned again since. Some iron bridges were also built during his administration, which was marked by a progressive policy that has left a permanent impress upon the development of the county. Politics has always been a live interest in his life. After the close of his county services he was employed at Lima, Ohio, for the Standard Oil Company. Since his retirement he has resided in Franklin, at No. 809 Elk Street. [CAB, 1012]
