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.
