By December 1, 1899, the Russians were numerous enough to hold occasional religious services in the vestry of the Congregational Church, so it is a fair assumption that the middle 1890's was the beginning of their immigration into Maynard. There is no data on the number of Russian people in Maynard, but a newsnote on Aug.13, 1913 informs us that a Russian wedding took place on Florida Court with over one hundred people present. Their church was built in 1917 on Prospect Street,
December 1, 1899 - Russians hold occasional services in vestry of Congregational Church. Will acquire pastor and hold weekly services.
August 15, 1913 - Russian wedding on Florida Court - over 100 present. Russian priest Father Jacob Gregoff.
