1917 SEATON MAYNADER



SEATON MAITLAND MAYNADER
REHOBOTH BEACH, DELAWARE



The July 22, 1917 issue of the Washington Post of Washington, D .C. reports that a sixteen
year old lad of a family here saves two girls from the Rehoboth Beach surf.

News of the event reports that Seaton Maynader who was standing on the shore heard the

cries of Miss Mary Hooper and Miss Alice Poole who were being carried away into the

ocean. The lad grabbed a nearby lifebuoy and rushed into the breakers and saved the two

from drowning.

Seaton was born March 31, 1901 in Washington, D. C. to Gustavus Brown Maynader, a

clerk in a government department,   and his wife the former Eliza Seaton Lila Maitland,

both Gustavus and Lila born in France. They were married in 1890 when they were 25 years

of age.

In 1910 the Maynader's were residents on Maryland Avenue in Hyattsville, Prince Georges

County, Maryland. The family had a older daughter, Lila, born in D. C. 1894.
