OK- here it is...It's spelled differently.....




Maybeury is an unincorporated town in McDowell County, West Virginia, United 
States, located on US Route 52 between Northfork and Bramwell.

In 1890, it was the largest town in McDowell County with a population of 875. 
This was due to the coal mining start-ups in the town. Maybeury was the 5th 
largest town/city south of the State Capital, Charleston, and listed as the 
31st largest town/city in the entire state. [3]

John F. Kennedy stopped in Maybeury at the Esso station during his presidential 
primary campaign in 1960. During a speech in Canton, Ohio on September 27, 
1960, he stated "McDowell County mines more coal than it ever has in its 
history, probably more coal than any county in the United States and yet there 
are more people getting surplus food packages in McDowell County than any 
county in the United States. The reason is that machines are doing the jobs of 
men, and we have not been able to find jobs for those men." [4]
