Mary Ann was born in Oct. 1844 and died in Durham, NC on 5-10-1901.  She is buried with Joseph at Woodlawn Cemetary.  I "think" Mary Ann's parents might be Bryan and Carey Martindale of Moore/Chatham.

Mrs. Maynor Dead
She Died at Her Home on Randolph Street
Late Yesterday Afternoon
      Mrs. Mary E. Maynor, wife of Joseph Maynor, died at her home on Randolph Street, about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. She was stricken with paralysis some time ago and added to this she was suffering with a complication of diseases. These caused her death.
      The deceased was probably little more than fifty years of age and was well known to the people living in that part of the city. During her sickness she stood her suffering bravely and with patience. She left a husband and eight children, four sons and an equal number of daughters.        
      The funeral service will be conducted from the residence this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock by W. H. Cunninggim, pastor of Main Street Methodist Church. After the funeral services the remains will be interred in the city cemetery.  The friends of the family sympathize with them in their trouble and sorrow.
