The first we hear of the Lithuanians in Maynard is a newsnote of 1904 telling of a St. Elizabeth's Society meeting. This was a joint group with Hudson Lithuanians. This would place the first Lithuanians In Maynard in the latter 1890's.
Apparently there was not enough of this ethnic group to organize any clubs or societies for we have no records of any such. For religious purposes St. Bridget's Church was used.
A newsnote of March 23, 1917 tells us of Father Daugin, a Lithuanian priest, of Norwood was to hear confessions at St. Bridget's Church this Monday for the Lithuanian speaking people,
The dearth of news about Lithuanians is possibly answered by their being asmall ethnic minority and belonging to Polish organizations in town.
All dates from Maynard News
For further information indebted to Mrs. Raymond (Mary) Sheridan.
