Adelaide Dorotha Watters Maynor, age 84, died Friday, March 3, 1995, at the Straight Mountain residence. Mrs. Maynor was the wife of Capt. Eugene A. Maynor, who died at age 89 in 1983. Following Capt. Maynor's retirement in California, the couple moved to Blount County, where he was reared. Miss Addie adopted the county as her own, for years extolling its people and pleading for the protection of its beauty through her column ""Blount County Beautiful,'' published for 23 years in The Southern Democrat, later in The Blount Countian. An avowed environmentalist, she worked with various groups to further recycling and to clear the county of its pervasive litter. Under her chairmanship, the county Farm Bureau Women's Committee sponsored roadside and homesite cleanups, a program that earned Blount a state award as the Best County in Alabama in 1973 and made Blount the first county to be placed in the Alabama Environmental Hall of Fame in 1974. Mrs. Maynor later continued those efforts in spearheading countywide roadside cleanups that saw county road crews picking up bagged and boxed litter citizens had gathered from the roadsides. In 1990, Mrs. Maynor herself won the PALS Anti-Litter District Award, for which she earned praise from the Alabama Forestry Commission. An enthusiastic member of the Amaryllis Garden Club and the county garden club council, she initiated the flower-of-the-year campaign to make Oneonta the bloomingest county seat in the state. She earlier was instrumental in the Project Pride move that recognized beautification efforts of residents and businesses. She was also the organizer of the garden club's annual Mitten Tree project that prompted gifts of warm clothing for the county's poor children. She was a member of Antioch United Methodist Church and the Blount County Historical Society. Mrs. Maynor was originally of Pittsburgh, Penn., and studied at Northwestern University. She was the daughter of the late Robert S. and Mary Pearl Watters. [Birmingham News (AL) - March 3, 1995]
