   Mr. Maupin was born to the late Alfred McGhee Maupin and Mary Armistead Jones and attended Raleigh Public Schools before graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1936, where he was a member of Zeta Psi fraternity. After receiving his law degree from George Washington University in 1940, he practiced law in Raleigh for over fifty years. He was commissioned an Ensign in the Navy and after training in Mine Warfare, he was then sent for duty on the USS AMS 195, a minesweeper. Lieutenant Maupin served on Atlantic Anti Submarine duty and swept a large minefield off Cape Hatteras during the early part of 1943. Later that year Lt. Maupin was dispatched to the South Pacific Forces and joined that command in New Caledonia. While in the Pacific, the ship was attached to the Third Fleet, the Fifth Fleet, and served in the Solomon Islands Campaign, the Marshall Islands Campaign, and the assaults on Saipan and Guam. During the campaign the ship swept over 200 mines and shot down two enemy planes. Following the War he returned to Raleigh and joined the law firm of Brassfield and Maupin which later merged and became Maupin Taylor. Under his leadership his law firm of 60 attorneys has been recognized as one of the top law firms in North Carolina. He was active in the legal community by serving as president of the Wake County Bar Association and president of the North Carolina State Bar.

He earned his Eagle Scout and later became Chairman of the Sequoyah District and President of the Occoneechee Council, Boy Scouts of America. He received the Silver Beaver Award for his volunteer work in scouting. As a true conservative patriot, Armistead was always active in politics. In 1960 he served as Malcolm Sewell's campaign manager for governor and later chaired the Wake County Democratic Party. When the Democratic Party abandoned its southern conservative roots in 1976, Armistead became a loyal republican where he was active in Governor Ronald Reagan's North Carolina primary campaign for President. He remained a lifelong member of Christ Episcopal Church where he served on the vestry as a Senior Warden and as Vice-Chancellor of the Eastern Diocese of North Carolina.
   A founding member of the Triangle Fox Hunt, he served as Field Master of the Hounds and Chairman of the Hunt Committee. In 1982 he received a Presidential Appointment by President Reagan to serve as Chairman of the American Battle Monument Commission. He was a member of the North Carolina Society of the Cincinnati whose members are direct descendants of Revolutionary war officers who served under General George Washington. He served as President of the North Carolina Society and later served as President General of the General Society of the Cincinnati after being sworn in on the battleship USS North Carolina. He was recognized as a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor by the President of France in 1974. He was also a founding member of the Wake County SPCA and a lifelong board member of historic Oakwood Cemetery. He had an active social life and was a member of the Carolina Country Club, Circle Club, Sphinx Club, Terps Club, Stock and Bond Club and the Nine O'clock Cotillion. His love of travel led him and his wife Cheryl to all four corners of the earth by sea, land, and air. They also enjoyed visiting with their grandchildren, gardening, getting together with their friends and raising a household of pets. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Diana Jane Barton; brother, Addison Maupin Jr. and sister, Nancy Maupin Neely. Mr. Maupin was a prominent Raleigh attorney who died at home.

   Ceremony Marks Establishment Of Maupin Justice FundThursday, June 01, 2006
   The late Armistead J. Maupin was honored in April during a special Justice Fund Dedication Ceremony at the N.C. Bar Center in Cary. The ceremony took place in the James K. Dorsett Jr. Auditorium.
   Presenters included former NCBA President W. W. “T” Taylor, whose longtime partnership with the honoree is reflected in the Maupin Taylor nameplate. Thomas W. H. Alexander, a 30-year veteran of the firm, and M. Keith Kapp also presented remarks on behalf of Maupin Taylor, PA.
   Kapp’s presentation featured excerpts from a 1995 Wake County Bar Association video interview of Maupin, who died July 26, 2005, at the age of 90.
   Maupin was born to Alfred McGhee and Mary Armistead Jones Maupin in Raleigh on Nov. 10, 1914. He attended high school in Raleigh and graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1936. While working in Washington, D.C., Armistead earned an LL.B. from George Washington University Law School in 1940.
   Maupin served with distinction in the U.S. Navy during World War II, then returned to Raleigh as a member of Brassfield and Maupin, which later became Maupin Taylor. Armistead served as president of the Wake County Bar Association and the N.C. State Bar, was a member of the Fourth Circuit Judicial Conference and a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, and served in the ABA House of Delegates.
   Maupin was a lifelong member of Christ Episcopal Church in Raleigh, serving as senior warden of the vestry and as vice chancellor of the Eastern Diocese of N.C. An Eagle Scout, he later served as president of the Occoneechee Council and was awarded the Silver Beaver for service to the Boy Scouts.
   A descendant of conspicuous soldiers - both of his grandfathers fought for the Confederacy - Armistead was also descended from Revolutionary War officers who served under Gen. George Washington, qualifying him for membership in the N.C. Society of the Cincinnati. Armistead earned his own laurels as president general of the General Society of the Cincinnati, and was installed as a chevalier of the French Legion of Honor by the president of France in 1974. President Reagan appointed him chair of the American Battle of Monuments Commission.
   An accomplished horseman and friend to animals great and small, Armistead was a founding member of the Triangle Fox Hunt and the Wake County SPCA.
   Armistead and his wife Diana Jane Barton Maupin were the parents of Armistead Maupin Jr., Anthony Maupin, and Jane Maupin Yates. Following the death of his first wife, he married Cheryl Erhard Powell who survives him.
   Powell joined Anthony Maupin and Jane Maupin Yates, who traveled from her home in New Zealand to attend the ceremony, in unveiling the NCBA Foundation Endowment’s 79th Justice Fund.
   A Justice Fund is a named endowment that honors those North Carolina lawyers, past and present, whose careers have demonstrated dedication to the pursuit of justice and outstanding service to the profession and the public. One or more contributors may establish a Justice Fund to honor a colleague, family member or friend.
   Lawyers designated and honored by the creators of a Justice Fund receive special recognition in the form of a permanent plaque and biographical sketch maintained at the N.C. Bar Center.
   The NCBA Foundation Endowment was established in 1987 to enable the foundation to fund programs and activities to better serve the public and the legal profession. As of January 2006, the endowment had awarded grants totaling $2,400,751 for 344 projects.
