Led by police, and accompanied by members of Frenk J. DeMars Post, and Auxiliary, American Legion, the two young men were escorted from the Town House down Main street to Memorial Park on Summer Street, thence to the center of the town where they were placed in the Maynard police car, and with Chief Henry Piecewicz at the wheel, were whisked out of the town with the siren wide open. As part of their escort, Commander Benjamin Gruber of the Legion, accompanied them. The sendoff Monday morning was a fitting climax to the impressive testimonial and banquet given them Sunday night at George Washington Auditorium, which was crowded with some two hundred town officials and townspeople. After the colors had been trooped in by a squad of veterans under the leadership of Past Legion Commander Angus Hanson, Selectman Donald A. Lent welcomed the guets and introduced the Toastmaster, Joseph P. Dineen, Past Commander of the Maynard Legion Post. All but one of the speakers were residents of Maynard, the exception being Judge Calger of Concord, who was also the first to speak. Rev D. Edward O'Bryan, pastor of St. Bridget's church gave the invocation. Other clergymen who spoke were Rev. George Koponen, pastor of the Finnish Congregational church of which Kangas is a member, Rev. William F. Maciaszek, pastor of St. Casimir's church, which Sofka attends. Rev. Herbert F. Fulton, pastor of the Methodist church and Father O'Bryan, whose talk was particularly stirring and received much applause. "Father Bill" Maciaszek, as he is affectionately known, brought tears to many eyes as in simple language he explained that the mother of Bennie Sofka was seriously ill in the hospital and unaware that her boy had been called for service. Following the clergymen were Attorneys Leslie W. Sims, John J. Donahuge, John Driscoll and Charles Lerer; George Lunch, member of the Concord Draft Board; Postmaster Frank O. Sheridan, Representative Avery Steele; John Higgins of the School Committee; James Ledgard; Town Clerk Frank E.

MAYNARD CRICKET CLUB Prior to the formation of the Cricket Club amd the acquisition of suitable grounds, the game of cricket was played on the John A. Crowe Park amongst the new immigrants, who had come to America and taken up their new homes in Maynard. They were Joined by many of the local residents, who were learning the game and had many an enjoyable evening until darkness would set in. As soon as darkness came many of the imigrants, especially of Finnish extraction, would gather at the Park, both men and women, to participate in the folk singing and dancing of their native country.

Title A name given to the resource Monographs Description An account of the resource The Maynard Historical Society has a growing collection of monographs. Monographs, by nature, are focused and detailed research on a single topic (places, people, events, etc.) Many of these monographs, especially by guest authors outside of the Society's research team, contain personal anecdotes and details of life in town during their lifetime. In the years preceding the 1971 Centennial of Maynard the rather new Maynard Historical Society gathered a series of monographs on a wide variety of topics. 96 papers, written by primarily by Birger Koski and Ralph Sheridan, plus a number of "guest" authors, many of these were read at Historical Society meetings in the late 1960's and then became source material for the 1871-1971 History of Maynard book written for the Centennial of the Town.

On November 19, 1909, Maynard was treated to a showing of moving pictures by a concern called the American Moving Picture Company at what was then called Music Hall, or the "Rink", and some first class pictures were shown here for the first time, and were well received by the people. A former resident of Maynard, who is now deceased, Mr. Henry Gilroy, was associated with a man named Sherman who was showing pictures in other towns. Gilroy severed his connection with Sherman and started to operate in Cooperative Hall, Maynard, and also in Association Hall, Concord Junction, now West Concord, and stated he would have the latest talking device which had just come on the market and also stated he would have only the best. Jan. 20, 1910 he brought the pictures of the Nelson-Wolgast fight and on Wednesday night January 28, 1910 showed the pictures of the Johnson-Ketchel fight. These were at Cooperative Hall. John H. Murray was showing pictures at Music Hall and Gilroy was showing them at Cooperative Hall. An agreement was reached between Messrs. Murray and Gilroy to each take a night showing. One would show pictures on Friday night and the other on Saturday night. May 23, 1913 new chairs were put in at Cooperative hall to replace the old settees which had been in use for many years. Gilroy also procured two brass signs 30x40 inches with glass fronts to use them in the advertisement of his theatre. Sept. 5, 1913 - Edison's latest and greatest achievement, a talking picture was shown at Cooperative Hall, including Raymond Hitchcock - singing his famous song "What's the Use".

Prices for the show were children 10¢, adults 25¢, and this same picture cost 50¢ at Keith's Theatre. Feb. 20, 1914, B.J. Coughlin and George Creighton commenced to install booths and fixtures in the new Naylor Hall, which had just been completed. The fixtures arrived and were being installed to be ready for the opening of Colonial Hall. Their first show was the "Battle of Shiloh" of four reels and James B. Farrell, Maynard's popular tenor, had been engaged to sing at the opening. The operator of the pictures was Leonard Smith and the piano player was Bert Lawton.

On Thursday evening, Thomas King was the singer; Saturday evening, James Farrell and Arthur Sullivan were the soloists. On Saturday afternoon a $2.50 gold piece was given away and a $5.00 gold piece in the evening. Henry Gilroy the movie man claimed that on Saturday afternoon he had the largest attendance at a matinee since he began to show movies. On May 15, 1914 - a good attendance was present at Cooperative Hall to see a show called "Ten Nights in a Barroom", a fine production.

Title A name given to the resource The Game of Golf in Maynard Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank C. Sheridan Description An account of the resource A new form of recreation finally took root here in Maynard in the form of the game of golf, which had become quite popular throughout the United States, and finally began to be tried out here in Maynard on July 16, 1916, when Arthur Sullivan tried to interest some of his fellow Maynardites in the forming of a golf club in Maynard. This effort was first proposed on July 21, 1916. Mr. Sullivan had gathered several local people, and they started to play the game on what was Ben Smith's Farm, which ran from the bridge next to the former car barn, and to what is known to all of us as Ben Smith's Dam. The Smith Farm was then located just above Taft Avenue, with the Philips home next to the Smith Farm, and across the road was the Litchfield homestead. The proposed course was to be built from the Smith Farm and the Philips home as far as what was known then as Siloway's Corner (Stow line). About the same time, A. L. Lawrence, better known as "Len", and who owned a farm just over the Maynard-Acton line (High Street), also had built a three-hole course at what is called "Fletcher Corner". This course was called "Birchhurst". As a result, Arthur Sullivan suggested that Mr. Lawrence needed help to improve the course so he could give up the proposed Great Road course and that any golfers playing at the "Birchhurst" through their contributions would help to make the small course a better course and would financially help the owner. On November 14, 1919, a banquet was held at "Birchhurst", and a good time was had by all. In the spring, the golfers received some good news, and on July 22, 1921, an option was taken on the Calvin Whitney Farm, which comprised sixty-eight acres of land, and would be large enough for a nine-hole course. Officers and members of the Club at that time stated that a larger membership would be allowed and the committee-in-charge of membership consisted of Howard A. Wilson, James J. Ledgard, Charles Courtney, and William Brayden. On August 5, 1921, forty members were present, with Howard A. Wilson, chairman, and James J. Ledgard, secretary. An architect's report that the barn could be converted into a clubhouse. The dwelling could be torn down or could be left temporarily for the greenskeeper's residence. The land was rich and supplied with town water for the greenskeeper. About eighty members signed up at the beginning, and it was estimated that seventy more could be taken into the club, as the sum of $6,000 would be needed at the start. A committee of seven were appointed to get members and to raise the needed money. This committee was as follows: George Gutteridge, Dr. Edward Flaherty, William Brayden, Brooks Reed, James J. Ledgard, Wallace Priest, and Frank E. Sanderson. By fall, six holes would be ready to play on. August 12, 1921, meeting held in Riverside Hall. Money pledged and will be paid back when finances are improved. Over one hundred have signed as members and five more members have been added to the committee of seven. August 19, 1921, papers have been passed as one hundred and fifty have signed, and charter will be closed. There are still some openings. See any of the following: Howard A. Wilson, James Ledgard, Oliver Trees, P. J. Sullivan, "Len" Lawrence, Brooks Reed, Dr. Flaherty, Wallace Priest, Frank Sanderson, James Packard, William Brayden, and George Gutteridge. In September, the following holes were ready to be played on: No.'s 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8. Numbers 4, 5, and 9 were still swampy and had to be filled and graded. The house committee members, William Brayden and Brooks Reed, put on a very enjoyable party in the apple orchard where the club house now stands. They were assisted by their wives and other members, and tables and chairs were set up in the apple orchard, and a very enjoyable afternoon was had by all. A part of the old homestead was set aside for the caretaker to live in, and two other rooms were set up for the golfers. Then the house committee got together and built an open veranda facing the course. Meanwhile, the remaining holes were finished, and everyone was pleased with the course. The house committee and the board of governors decided to tear the barn down and left a long shed which was used for lockers; but as the visitors and the club members did not have sufficient place to change their clothes this matter was taken up at a board of governors meeting. Meanwhile, some of the members who had visited and played on other courses discussed the matter of the clubhouse. This matter was taken up at the board of governors meeting and fully discussed by them. It was voted to lay the matter before the membership at the annual meeting, which was held in the High School and was well attended. Previous to this meeting and all during the golf season, several of the Maynard golfers visited and played on other golf courses, and it gave us an opportunity to look over the cost of building a clubhouse at the Maynard course and it also gave an opportunity to look over the various clubhouses, as to the size and cost of building a clubhouse at the Maynard course. In the discussion, one member stated a clubhouse would cost $35,000, and another said $50, 000. Meanwhile, I had a friend living in South Acton named Leonard Stiles and was studying in Boston, whom I contacted at his home, and he agreed to draw up a set of plans for a clubhouse for me for a very small sum, and he in turn gave me the name of a contractor in Concord by the name of Ole Anderson, living near the Emerson Hospital, whom we contacted, and he agreed to build the clubhouses for approximately $5, 000, which was accepted by the directors, and Mr. Anderson built the clubhouse for the Golf Club. I also succeeded in procuring a nice hot water heater from the United Cooperative Society, which was not being used, for $25, and it fitted nicely in the men's locker room and furnished hot water for the kitchen and the showers. With the completion of the new clubhouse, the membership increased tremendously. B. J. Coughlin was appointed custodian of the new building, and he did an excellent job. A representative of the Massachusetts Golf Association came to Maynard to play on the new course, and as a result of his visit he suggested that our club should hold a Massachusetts State Open Tournament, which would bring a lot of publicity for our new course. The board of directors voted that this tournament should be held, and voted some nice prized for the occasion. Maynard had a nice turnout of some very nice golfers, including Jesse Guilford and George Aulback and many others who enjoyed their visit, and returned several times to play our course. (Incidentally, I had a good round and was awarded a cut-glass bowl.) Two weeks later, a tournament was held at the Wellesley Country Club, and some of the Maynard golfers participated, and a member of the Wellesley Club and myself tied for the low net score. We played it off the following Saturday and again I had a very good round and this time came home with a beautiful electric coffee percolator set, consisting of tray, pitcher, sugar bowl and percolator. Subsequently, the net tournament was held at the Sandy Burr Country Club in Wayland and again I had a good day, and this time I received a pair of silver candleholders. Our membership here in Maynard had increased very quickly and the club had to set a limit, as heretofore a wife could play on her husbands' membership. This slowed up the play tremendously and a change was made whereby on Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays, a wife or other women should not play before four o'clock, but could play all day on other days. This caused a lot of consternation, and the club lost several members from Greater Boston, but this could not be avoided, and the rule had to be carried out. Meanwhile, the club had tough sledding for a time, but with the enlarging of the men's locker rooms, and the addition of whereby food and spirit - of-fermentae could be served under a club's license granted by the Selectmen, so as to pep up the tired golfers after they finished their game. This addition to the clubhouse added much to the membership and its good times, and it is hoped that they will have many successful years to come in the enjoyment of that great game of golf.

Transcription of pages 59-72 Warning - contains some graphic details of war 12/1/1922 Roy Charles Gray It was the year of 1914 that Great Britain declared war against Germany which Canada went to fight on August 4, 1914, for her mother country, England. It was on the 28th of August 1915 that I went and enlisted from Joggins Mines for the 64th Battalion which was training at Sussex New Brunswick at the time. I was only 16 years of age when I enlisted so I did not know what I was going to, but it did not take long for me to find out what it was. It was on the 31st of August 1915 that I started my training. I did not find it very nice going out training all day and standing in a big line for my meals and sleeping outdoors in a tent with about 7 or 8 more fellows with me. It was kind of hard coming right from home and going in training but inside of a week I did not find it so hard. But getting up in the morning and going outdoors and washing in ice cold water - it does wake a fellow up. Well, we were not very long there. I think we had about 18 or 20 hundred men and after a couple of months there, we went to Halifax at the place they called No. 2 Pier. It was not a wooden pier; it was concrete and it was a good place. But in the place, there was no steam - it was pretty cold. So that was our home for a while. It was there that we started our training again. We would have to start out before breakfast in the morning and do a little drill and then after that we would go for a route march or go up to the common and do a little drill. But on stormy days, we would stay in the Pier and drill. Well, I can remember one day we started out for a march. We walked about 12 or 13 miles to the place, and we had dinner and a little drill, but we had to walk the same distance back. But we got back all right and there was only one man that dropped out. But the day after or a couple of days after, there were a lot that got their discharge after the march with flat feet and a lot of other complaints. After that, we had to recruit for more men. Well, it was April 9th, 1916, that we sailed for England. We had one nice trip going across so we landed in Liverpool. I heard them say that we were the first to land in there. We disembarked at Liverpool and took the train for Bramshott England. We did some training there and after that we went to Otterpool Camp not far from Shorncliffe. It was there that our battalion got split up. Some went to the Pioneers, but I was quarantined for a couple of days there. Well after we left there, we went to a place called Hyde. It was there that we learned to shoot at the target. We stayed there till we all had our range practice, and they came around and told us we had to go to Shorncliffe. We all started - not all, for there were a few that stayed back - so we went down there and got our equipment for France and a lot of stuff that we needed for the line. Well, it was July 1916 that we got on the boat for France, so we all got broke up. Our Company C was going to the 24th Battalion Montreal, and D Company was going to the 26th New Brunswick, and B and about all of A Company was going to the 25th Battalion Nova Scotia. So I am starting my experiences in France. The first place they took us was some Canadian Camp where they taught us to do trench warfare. We had to sleep about 18 or 20 in a tent, for the place was crowded with soldiers. They taught us how to clean out a trench and to clean out a dugout and all kinds of warfare. Well, after having a little training there, they sent us up the line. When I landed in Belgium our battalion was in the line somewhere so when they came out, I went to my own company. They put me in D Company 15 Platoon where Lieutenant Cowan was my platoon officer. We did not stay long out, for inside of a week, we all went in the line. That was my first time in the trenches. The trenches we went in were called N, and M trenches. There was not much fighting for it was after the Ypres fight that I went in, and they were pretty quiet, but the Germans were firing a lot of rifle shots at us, and a few rum jars and fish tails - that's what they were called. I did not know what danger I was in, for I'd never been in before, but the second or third night there was a rum jar came over and landed in a little dugout, and our company sergeant major and his batman (aide) was in the dugout, so we started to dig them out, and all we got of them we put in a sandbag, for they were all blown to pieces. That was the first thing to see - what a shell could do, and I don't think I ate much breakfast the next morning for I felt a little sick. So, the next night, they sent me and another fellow out in no-man's land to a listening post, and it makes cold chills go through a fellow - laying out there at night and a few big rats running around and a fellow got to keep his eyes open and keep quiet. But a fellow is pretty brave when he first goes in the line, but after a while it breaks a fellow's nerves. Well, I think we stayed 6 or 7 days in there and we went out for a little rest, for there was only two of our company in and two out so our other two companies took our place. We were not very far from the line, for we had to carry the grub up to them, and they were digging a mine, and we had to take up explosives to the miners. So, inside of a week, or more, we all went out and got clean up, so that was my first trip. Well, we stayed around Belgium for a little while and we got orders to start on a 9-days march to the Somme Front. The first day was not too bad, but it got worse all the time walking over hard stone roads and my feet were pretty sore. We walked all day and slept in a barn at night. We would get some hay or straw, and it would not take us long to fall asleep. So we landed in a place called Albert. It was away back of the line, so we stayed there on a big common. There were thousands and thousands of troops there waiting for to go in the line. I was glad when we landed, for I felt like having a good rest, but all the place we had to sleep was on the ground, but it felt good. We stayed a couple of days there and they sent a few of us up to dig out an old trench, for it was all blown in. I think we found about 3 or 4 dead Germans. I remember one fellow we dug out. We found a picture of his wife and two nice little kids. Well, we worked there till it became nearly daylight and then we went back to the rest of the fellows, back to Albert. We stayed there a couple more days and then our battalion and our brigade and all our division all went in the line, for they were going to start a drive on the Somme Front. We landed in the line on September 15, 1916. The Company I was in was kept back in reserve, so the morning of the 17th, I was going up the line. When I got to a trench what we had to cross there were about 15 in our party carrying grub and bombs and lots of stuff. Behind me so we just got to this trench when we heard one of the big shells and the next thing I knew, I got hit in the head. I took a round and our officer got his eyes smacked. He was the first and next fellow to him did not get hurt. I was the third, so the fourth fellow got his hip and back blown off. So, after I got dressed, I started out and I met my two chums right back of me, they started up the line. After we got shook up so when they got up to where we got hit my two chums got blown to pieces. I went out to the dressing station and got fixed up pretty good, so they send me down the line. I landed in England - a place called Stockport and stayed there for a while. That Battle of the Somme - the first time that the tanks were used, and I guess it seared the Germans all right. I stayed in England for a while and then I was sent back to France again. Well while I was in England, I went on a furlough to Scotland to Lieth. Well, I landed in my battalion when they were getting ready for the Vimy Drive. I did not go over with my battalion, but they gave me a job to carry stuff up to them and go bring prisoners back, for which they had captured. That was one dirty morning. It was raining and hailing and lots of mud. There were a lot of wounded and dead that day. There was one German lying dead - I guess somebody must have hit him on the head for his head was split in two. It was an awful thing to see before breakfast, but a fellow gets used to it. Well, it was only a couple of days after the drive that I had to go and join my battalion. Well, we stayed around Vimy about one or two months. we had to hold the trench at Lens after we stayed a few months there, they sent me down the line for to take a course, an N.C.O. course, and while I was down there our division went over the top on the left of Lens. That is the time I did not go with them. Well, I stayed there to finish my course and then I came up to join my battalion again. Our battalion stayed around there for a while and one day we got orders to start on a march for the Germans were starting the spring drive, so we walked all night and landed in a little village the next morning. So, we stayed there for a night and the next night we had to Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
