Anton L. Maresh (b. 1877) was a Cleveland, Ohio, community leader and musician as well as a collector of Lincolnia. Founder of the Maresh Piano Company in 1896, Maresh composed his own music, spending much of his early life travelling around the country promoting his music and his business. He headquartered his operations first in his home in the Boradway-East 55th Street neighborhood which was dominated by German and Bohemian-born residents who worked primarily at the Cleveland Worsted Mills. He later moved to a permanent location at 3303 East 55th Street. The piano store quickly became Republican political headquarters for Cleveland's southeast side and, from that location in 1913, Maresh and fellow Republicans launched the career of Harry L. Davis who later became mayor of Cleveland. Maresh retired from the music business in 1937 but continued to actively pursue his hobby of collecting Abraham Lincoln memorabilia. This hobby dated from maresh's visit to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair where he admired exhibits devoted to Lincolnia. In the 1960s, his private collection ranked among the ten largest of Lincoln documents. Active in the Lincoln Memorial Association of Ohio and long-time president of the local Cleveland branch, Maresh gave over 500 talks on Lincoln lore to various groups.
