MAYTOWN – Page 669

Maytown is a hamlet of half a dozen houses in the extreme eastern part of 
Warrington, on the road from Lewisberry to Rossville.  It obtained its name from 
the fact that families by the name of May have long resided there.

In 1871 the present United Brethren Church was built near the village in a 
beautiful grove, which, when visited by the writer, was clothed in all the 
variegated charms of autumnal foliage.  Before the erection of this church 
services were held in a schoolhouse.
