Maybee, Monroe County, Michigan [9, 10] |
- Maybee was named for Abram Maybee, who, along with Joseph Klotz, surveyed, platted, and sold the land that became the village between 1873 and 1875. The village was incorporated in 1899. Spurred on by the railroad, the village grew to include a grain elevator, grist mill, stone quarry, sand pit, hotel, three churches, two schools, and several small factories and stores.[9] It is primarily an agricultural community. The grain elevator and quarry are still operating, along with several small businesses and restaurants.

The exact date is not known, but at least by 1850, the village of Maybee was a settlement in the township of Exeter. At that time, the Maybee settlement as it was called had one saw mill and one general store. Maybee was named after a gentlemen known as Abram Maybee. He was born in Medina, Ohio on June 6, 1835. His parents were Solomom Maybee and Charlotte (Doolittle) Maybee.
According to documentation the young boy known as Abram, came to Michigan with his parents in 1842.
Abram received 60 acres of his father's land "situated in Exeter" willed to him from his father. His father "Solomon died March 26, 1860". This land was later platted for the village of Maybee.
At the age of 30, Abram Maybee married Mary C. Moses on December 29, 1864. There were four children born to them. Three girls and a son. They also adopted another son.
At the age of thirty-nine years Abram Maybee and Joseph Klotz decided in 1873 to have the lands that they owned surveyed for a village. The Canada Southern Railway at this time was also being built through Maybee.
Abram and Joseph soon dealt in the business of selling village lots. They also owned a saw mill together according to the 1876 Atlas of Monroe County.
On January 6th and 7th, 1873, Delos F Wilcox surveyed the lands belonging to these two men. The land platted is part of Private Claims 352,495 and 274.
After this was done, Abram Maybee and Joseph Kloz, both dealt in the business of selling village lots. According to the 1876 Atlas of Monroe County, Abram and Joseph also owned a sawmill together.
According to the death notice of Abram, it was read that he built all of the first houses and a hotel.
In 1890 Abram Maybee retired, he was 56 years old. On Wednesday the 18th of May 1892 he died.
There were four children born to Abram and his wife. Adella, Elizabeth, George and Marilla. Abram Maybee and his wife also raised an adopted son named Seward.
