Herbert Brown Maw (1893-1990) was an American politician and the eighth
Governor of Utah. He was a Democrat and was a member of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. Maw was trained as a pilot by the Aviation Corps
during World War I at Kelley Air Base in Texas. Before he was deployed in this
service he was made an LDS Chaplain with the rank of First Lieutenant and
assigned to work with the 89th Division at Camp Funston, Kansas. He was then
sent to Europe and after the end of the war served in the Army of Occupation
in Germany. Maw was one of only three LDS chaplains in the US Military
during World War I. Maw was elected to the Utah State Senate in 1928 where he
served until 1938, serving as the President of the Utah State Senate from 1934.
Maw was first elected governor of Utah in 1940, then served a second
term in 1944. While serving as governor Maw pushed through reductions in the
utility rates and regulations on ore extraction in the state. He was a strong
member of the LDS Church, teaching Sunday school in both Salt Lake City and
Chicago and also teaching in the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association.
