Mary Ann Maitland was born January 26, 1839, in Elgin, Scotland. She died February 24, 1919, in St. Mary’s, Ontario. She is buried next to her husband, photographer George Maitland, in an unmarked grave in Avondale cemetery in Stratford, Ontario.
Her short story “Charity Ann: Founded on Facts, published in 1892, helped inspire Lucy Maud Montgomery when she created Anne Shirley.
