Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [238-239]

           JOHN MAYWOOD, editor and proprietor of the Huron Tribune, pub-
        lished at Bad Axe, was born Dec. 13, 1846, in Perth, Canada. He is
        the son of CHARLES and JANE (PINKBORN) MAYWOOD, and was brought up
        on a farm. When he was 19 years old he came to Tawas, Mich., where
        he found employment in a saw-mill. During the winter following,
        taught school. He had become well-known through his efficiency and
        zealous labors in religious matters, and in the summer of 1870 he
        was appointed to fill a vacancy in the Methodist Episcopal Church
        at Alpena and performed the labors of the position several months.
        He then joined the Methodist Conference, and remained in the minis-
        try four years.  In 1872 he located at Albion, Mich., and entered
        the college in that city, continuing to study there until he com-
        pleted the junior year. He then resumed his ministerial connec-
        tions, and in September, 1879, was assigned to Port Austin, where
        he officiated two years. In June, 1881, in company with his
        brother, GEORGE A. MAYWOOD, he came to Bad Axe and purchased the
        Tribune. It was founded in 1876 by BELL IRWIN, under the style of
        the Bad Axe Back-Woodsman. Afterward the present style was substi-
        tuted. In December, 1883, he purchased the interest of his brother,
        and has since conducted the journal alone. The paper is printed on
        the only steam-power press in the county. The entire establishment,
        with its fixtures, was destroyed Sept. 4, 1881, by fire, but the
        patrons of the paper did not lose an issue, as in three weeks the
        office was in complete running order. In 1882, the Huron County
        Gazette was purchased by the brothers MAYWOOD, and the two journals
        were consolidated. A prosperous jobbing department is connected
        with the office. MR. MAYWOOD is a member of the Masonic fraternity,
        and is Justice of the Peace. He owns the premises where he conducts
        his business.
