SURNAMES:
located in Santa Clara County in 1887, purchasing a property between
Los Gatos and Saratoga for the benefit of her children. The ranch
contains forty acres, and is called "Mascot Villa." Thirty-five
acres are in fruit trees. There are 3,000 French prune, 650
peach, 370 Bartlett pear, 570 apple, and 200 apricot trees, all
in full bearing. There is a nice spring of water on the
place. The house is a large and substantial one, surrounded by
well-kept grounds, with ornamental shrubbery, etc., and is kept
in
excellent order, thanks to the energetic management of H. G. Maynard,
Jr.
Mrs. Maynard is the wife of H. G. Maynard, who came to California in
1850, and in 1855 went to Gold Hill, Nevada, and became interested in
many lines of business, being very successful as a banker. He
built some seventy-five houses in the town, including one large block
called the "Maynard Block." He was married in 1864 to his
present wife, she being the the widow of James D. Jackson M. D., of
Worcester, Massachusetts, who died in San Francisco, in 1863.
After Mr. Maynard's marriage, he returned to Massachusetts and built a
summer residence in Northborough, and a winter residence in Boston,
where he lived five years. He then sold his Eastern property and
returned to San Francisco, where he bought property on Bush Street, and
built seven houses between Powell and Mason Streets. In 1884 he
went to Washoe City, Nevada, and engaged with Gov. C. C. Stephenson in
the Willow Creek silver and lead mines, devoting his attention solely
to the mines.
