Maynard, Herbert Blakemore
Born: Ohio February 11, 1859
Gas and Electric Utilities
Herbert Maynard came to Waterloo in 1906 as secretary of Citizen's Gas & Electric Company. He remained with the utility company and, when it was purchased by Iowa Public Service, served as assistant secretary. In 1923 he was president of the Iowa District Gas Association, later known as Midwest Gas. The Lafayette Street powerhouse was named Maynard Station in his honor in 1942.
While working as an engineer at Ocean Springs, Mississippi, he became friends with Jefferson Davis, former president of the confederacy. In 1881, he began 14 years work as a railroad construction and maintenance engineer. He came to Waterloo around 1906 when Citizen's Gas & Electric Company was purchased by the four Dawes brothers (Rufus, Beaman, Henry, and Charles) and I.C. Elston. (Mrs. Maynard and Mrs. Rufus Dawes were sisters.) The family residence from the 1910s to the 1940s was at 828 West Fourth Street.
