William S. Maynard

William S. Maynard

William Sumner Maynard (April 25 1802 - June 18 1866) was a politician from the U.S. state of Michigan, who served as mayor of Ann Arbor, Michigan from 1856-1858 and again from 1865-1866. Maynard was born in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. He suffered from severe depression and committed suicide by an overdose of morphine. Maynard owned a drug and dry-goods store and was said to be the wealthiest man in Ann Arbor at the time of his suicide. His grave is in Forest Hill Cemetery in Ann Arbor.

Maynard was married to Julia Guiteau, whose nephew, Charles J. Guiteau, assassinated President James Garfield on July 2, 1881. For a short while in 1859 Guiteau lived with his aunt and uncle in Ann Arbor, while trying to gain admission to the University of Michigan.
