Born and raised in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, Maher played an active role in the local community, particularly through his association with the Young Men's Club. Primarily based in Toledo, Ohio, Maher made a living as a cutlery dealer, demonstrating entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen. His ties to Toledo extended beyond commerce, as he became deeply engaged in civic and cultural activities. In 1883, Maher married Anne Kelsey, and they welcomed a daughter named Amy Grace Maher.
