The Lincoln Library of Essential Information, 1928 Edition, says this about them: The name given in England to the wandering tribes that since the beginning of the 15th Century have been scattered over Europe. They were supposed by the English to be Egyptians. In France the Gypsies are called Bohemians, from the belief that they were originally Hussites driven from Bohemia. Scholars now believe that the Gypsies are remnants of a tribe from India. Their language is undoubtedly derived from Sanskit, though it is mixed with many words from other languages. They call themselves Rome and their language Romany. For several centuries they were a source of trouble in Europe because of their wandering and thieving habits, though they were protected in Scotland by Royal authority. Maynard began to receive an annual visitation from Gypsies sometime in the 1890's, maybe earlier. Our first firm information about them, is a short news note of Aug. 4, 1899, that "a band of Gypsies are in camp just beyond the Catholic Cemetery." May 11, 1906 news note tells us that "Stanley's Gypsies are located in town". Nov. 3, 1911: article relates that a band of Gypsies have been invading the town from their camp near St. Bridget's Cemetery during the week. A longer piece in the paper of Aug. 4, 1916 tells of a group of Gypsies on Monday creating excitement in town. They were camped on Acton Road, near Parmenter's Crossing on the Acton side Sunday, and made their presence felt by many attempts at petty larceny. They had permission to stay until Monday , then Parmenter side on the Maynard side. In the afternoon six of the women made a shopping tour of the town, helping themselves in some stores and in others trying to cheat the merchants. Chief Binks, officers Sanford Swanson and Harlow Green visited them Monday night. The Chief of the Tribe produced a $1.00 receipt for use of the land for three days. Judge Wilson said they had a right to stay. Chief Binks tried to scare them but they were wise and nothing could budge them. There were about 80 in the band. Many curious people visited the camp to see them. They left town on Tuesday. Our last newspaper note is dated June 4, 1920: Charles Stanley's roving band of Gypsies are making their annual visit to Maynard and are in camp just beyond the Catholic Cemetery. The overall impression is left that the Gypsies had a circuit that was made during the warmer months of every year, The women wove baskets and made other things that they sold or bartered; the men were horse-traders. They came with their tents and belongings in wagons and usually set up shop by Old Mill Road adjoining St. Bridget's Cemetery. They were a colorful people and no doubt titillated the curiosity of the rustics no end. Thieving, possibly to them, was no sin, from stories told by old timers. They must have believed in sharing. Recollections vary, but by the mid 1920's they are not remembered as coming into town. We have been told that a permanent colony of then existed near Fort Meadow between Hudson and Marlboro; also that the men were fiercely handsome. Less than a year ago a Boston paper printed an article about a Gypsy Tribe that was been settled in Boston for many years. Possibly civilization caught up with Stanley's Gypsies in the 20's and that is where they are. Carnivals, circuses, Gypsies - in the old days they all brought a little bit of the outside world to Maynard, for good or bad. All dates are from the Maynard News. Other general information we are indebted to William Salo, Ralph Sheridan and Mrs. Ralph Sheridan. Read at the January 1963 meeting of the Maynard Historial Society. B. R.

A Maynard and Stow directory for 1887-1888 lists Edward McCraig as a cigar manufacturer on Harriman Court. Also lists William H. Irwin and William H. McGowan as cigar makers. In 1900, John W. Connors was manufacturing cigars in his shop located in Lowe's Block (now the Pizza House) Nason Street. He advertised "as the largest cigar manufacturer in Middlesex county", and made such name brands as "Home Market Club" (the cigar that made Maynard famous), 10¢. Also, 5¢ brands, "J.W.C." and "Forester Guide". His cigars were sold throughout Middlesex county. He had previously made cigars in a barn at his home on the comer of Sudbury and Park Streets. (Mr. Connors was also an outstanding baseball player, first baseman, and had a tryout with the Philadelphia Athletics under the late Manager Connie Mack.) Edward T. McManus, brother-in-law of Mr. Connors, operated a cigar factory at the rear of his home on the opposite comer of Sudbury and Park Streets. He later moved the business to Nason Street (in the building recently tore down to enlarge the parking lot.) An item in the Maynard News, dated Friday, May 26, l899: "At 3:35 Monday P.M., George Brown who was carting gravel on Sudbury Street saw smoke issuing from the side of the cigar factory of Edward T. McManus and notified him, who attempted to ascend the stairway, but was driven back by the dense smoke. He called to Bert Haynes, who was hitching up, to ring in the alarm. The fire department made a quick run and quickly extinguished the fire. Mr. McManus had about 33,000 cigars made up and a quantity of tobacco on hand, all being totally destroyed by water. The fire started in an upper room where the cigars were stored for shipment. Mr. McManus and a friend were upstairs early in the P.M. and he thinks the fire was caused by one of them throwing an unextinguished match on the floor. Loss on the stock, tools, etc., is about $2000. Unable to establish loss on the building. The loss was partly covered by insurance. Mr. McManus thanks the fire department and others who assisted for their efficient services. He later moved to a location on Main Street (now where Stretch's Tavern is located). He operated a lunch room and pool parlor in the front of the building and manufactured cigars in the rear. His most noted brand was the "E.T.M.". He drove a horse and wagon throughout the surrounding communities to deliver his cigars. James C. Mahoney operated a shop on Summer Street in the building next to where the Gruber family live. (House now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. William A. Morrill, Sr.) He made such brands as "Rosebud" and "J.C.M." George Morris operated this shop after Mr. Mahoney. He made the "Roamer" and the the "G.W.". In January 1920, Mr. Morris and James J. Tobin established a cigar factory at Paper Mill Comer (in the block where Speedy's restaurant is now located.) Mr. Morris conducted the business. Cornelius J. Lynch purchased the business of Mr. Connors, and in May 1910, owing to rapid increase In the business was obliged to secure larger quarters and moved to the basement of the Smoke Shop on Main Street (under what is now the Laundromat in Masonic Block.) September 16, 1910: "If one of the features of the aviation meet at Atlantic, Mass. was the presentation of a "Middlesex Cigar" to Claude Graham-White (one of the leading aviators of the time) by it's proud producer, Mr. C.J. Lynch. Mr. Graham-White, after trying the cigar, said the next airship meet ought to come off where the cigar was manufactured." In 1913, Mr. George E. "Speck" White, who had been employed as a cigar maker in Boston entered the employ of Mr. Lynch. In 1916, Mr. White purchased the business and operated the factory until 1921. He continued the manufacture of the "Middlesex" at 10¢ and the "Captor" at 5¢. In 1921 he sold the business to Mr. William H. Irwin a real old timer among the cigar makers. Mr. Irwin had been an employee of Mr. White since 1918, when he took the place of his son Chester Irwin, who had joined the United States Army. Mr. Irwin operated the shop until the late 1920's and produced "the Irwin Club". No cigars have been manufactured in Maynard since. "Chet" Irwin made cigars for a short time in a shop where the Pizza house is now located on Nason Street. Harry Ledgard also manufactured cigars in the shop on Summer Street. Among the many cigar makers from Maynard was Edward P. Ledgard, who is still living and remembers well all the other cigar makers of this town. "Ed" got his start with Mr. McManus, who also had several women working for him. Others were William Ryan, Michael Maley and John Maley, who later opened his own factory In Marlborough. Some of the foregoing men worked making such brands as "7-20-4" and "Pippin" and "Elcho". Note: In those days all brands were packed in wooden boxes and had a yellow ribbon band with the name of the brand printed in black letters. It was quite the fad for the women to save these ribbons to make pillow tops and seat covers by sewing them together in different patterns. Many of the canoeists had pillows topped with these ribbons. All tobacco plants which employed just one man were called "buckeyes". No one was certain of the origin of the name, except the first one came from Ohio, the "Buckeye State". Prepared by Ralph L. Sheridan Credit given to the Maynard News James J. Tobin, Edward F. Ledgard. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.

Leafing thru the old newspapers of yesteryear week after week, year after year, the overwhelming mass of information suggests that Maynard people in their leisure hours loved that greatest of in door sports: Dancing. If it wasn't an annual ball put on by The Masons, The Cricket Club, The Caledonian Club, The Fire Department, Ancient Order of Hibernians, St. Bridget's Temperance Society, The Finnish Socialist Society, The Imatra Band, The National Band, The Maynard Brass Band, The D.Y.W.Y.K. Club, The Middlesex Club, Twilight Club, The Grange, Royal Arganum. High School Alumni Association, Foresters Of America,The Moose, The Individual Craft Unions in the Mill, International Order of Red Men, Eastern Star, Knights of Pythias, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Odd Fellows, Associated Templars, Eagles, High School Seniors, the various town baseball Associations. To repeat, if it was not one of these, it was a program and dance at other times by the same clubs. And, if this was not enough, groups of individuals would hold public dances in between. The balls generally were dress-up affairs, grand march, punch and all the associated things to go with it. Large bands from Boston and other large cities vied with local bands for the honors. One such local band which gained New England prominence, for a decade and a half, was Frank Sheridan's Orchestra. Our Frank, who was representative for us in The General Court in the mid thirties and, just now retired, Postmaster of Maynard. Another was Hughie Connors Orchestra that covered the New England circuit, also Lawton's Orchestra was also well known in the area and played for the dances and balls. The balls were held either in Music Hall, Riverside Co-operative Hall, or The New Colonial Hall after 1914. The Music Hall or the Rink as it was called generally, which burned down in 1912, was the center of so much cultural, social, and sport activities for some 30 odd years that it deserves a separate paper for our Society. Suffice to say 800 to a thousand dancers would fill Music Hall in those grand days, Descriptions of these balls fill the newspapers year in and year out. Some of the smaller dances that were held had some quaint sponsors. Names of some of these impromptu groups ran from The Jolly Five, Merry Six, Happy Sixteen to The Shirt Waist Dancers. The dances of that earlier period (from The Gay Nineties), as copied from a dance card of The Caledonian Club are as follows: Schottische, Polka, Waltz, Two Step, Shades of Gypsy Rose Lee! After that came the Charleston, Hula, Black Bottom, The Shag, Jitter Bug, Jive, Rock and Roll, (all animal dances!) And now in 1965, to cap it off are still deploring the end of civilization because of all the variations of the Twist! And it started in 1913! The Shirtwaist dance parties were called such because of the informal dress shirt and blouses for the ladies and men in suits, or in hot weather, in shirt sleeves. The animal dances mentioned above were The Turkey Trot and The Bunny Hug is the educated guess of Frank Sheridan. May 6, 1904: Maynard News reports, "The Jolly Five are to have a prize dance on the first Friday night in June." The same issue reports, "The Jolly Five dance in the Music Hall Friday night drew a large crowd and an enjoyable evening was reported." The same issue reports, "The Happy Sixteen will have a Dance and Social in Music Hall Tuesday eve. May 10. Cartwrights Orchestra will play and a good time is assured. The Club consists of: Margaret Murphy, Margaret Dineen, Bessie Mahoney, Mae Carpenter, Mamie Dineen, Tessie Owens, Mamie Kelly, Minnie Cullinane, Annie Burke, Hellie Punch, Katie Young, Alice Manoney, Mamie Driscoll, and Inez Scully." Two of the sixteen must have found their man at the previous dance for only fourteen names are listed among these Finnish colleens. June 24, 1904: Maynard News reports, "Collins Orchestra furnished excellent music at the dance given by The Jolly Five in Coop Hall Wednesday night, which was well attended. There is no doubt that with a few engagements the local orchestra can give as good satisfaction as can be desired by the public." The same issue reports, "'A large party was in attendance at The Shirtwaist party given by St. Bridget's Temperance Society in Music Hall Saturday night. The Society will have another of their popular Shirtwaist parties in Music Hall Tomorrow night. Cartwirght's Orchestra will play. And so on up to November 14, 1913 Maynard News where-in is reported the following: "At the Selectmens' meeting Wednesday eve, it was decided that the objectionable dances which have been involved in the dance halls in this village must be stopped. All parties holding dances in the future will be notified that these objectionable and so-called animal dances are prohibited and must not be permitted in any dance hall in this municipality. This action is the opening of a vigorous campaign to suppress these objectionable forms of dance and Rev. Walter J. Browne, Father Sheehan, and other clergymen of the town, as well as a large percentage of the men and women are in sympathy with this movement and will sustain the selectmen in this action for a cleaner and better Maynard." (End of news article.) Frequently there was a prize Waltz at these dances. One such instance remembered by James Farrell was a dance held by St, Bridget's Temperance Society at Riverside Coop Hall. This has remained vivid in his mind for over half a century for an excellent reason.Two couples tied for first place: Jim Ryan (present sealer of weights) and Clarabelle Warren (his future wife), and Jim Farrell and (guess who?) Mamie Driscoll of "Happy Sixteen fame! I am indebted to Miss Mamie Driscoll, James Farrell and Frank Sheridan for additional information for this paper. I must also add it is absolutely fascinating to read about an individual or event which happened fifty or sixty years ago and then call the same individual up on the telephone today to verify or amplify on those events. In the case of Miss Driscoll, was one of the original members of the "Happy Sixteen", the voice that came over the phone was no more than a Happy Sixteen. All in all, philosophically stated, the home made enjoyments, be it dances, Minstrel shows, Dramatics, Glee Clubs, what-not, of yesteryear gave much more pleasure than the canned culture of today that is fed to us.

The first of the Danes In town we would place around the latter 1880's or early 1890's. They had become numerous enough by December 1, 1899 to hold a dance in their clubroom on Acton Street. We would place the location of this clubroom in one of the two buildings facing the Jewish Synagogue, for they were used for club purposes, No doubt this club was just a social group. Religious services were held in the Union Congregational Church In August 1899 and a new pastor arrived in April 1900. In November 1901 a successful church fair was held In Music Hall and at that time the church had forty communicants. The young Danes organized a club known as Young Danish Peoples' Social Club In March 1903. Maynard Lodge #204, Danish Brotherhood Society, organized December 23, 1904. This fraternal benefit lodge lasted for twenty-five years the following record shows: March 10, 1905: Lodge meets In Odd Fellows Hall. March 15, 1907: The Brotherhood holds masquerade ball in Co-operative Hall. March 3, 1911: Brotherhood holds its annual dance in Hibernian Hall. July 19, 1912: Danish Brotherhood buys land in Stow to erect building. (This was on Hastings Street, just over the town line.) November 7, 1919: Brotherhood welcomes Its boys back from the war. October 4, 1929: Danish Brotherhood to sell hall, The ranks of the old timers had thinned, it Is apparent, We have no record of officers, but Hans Erikson (Erikson's Ice Cream) was one of the stalwarts of this lodge in its latter years. And so the saga of the Danish Invasion ends - Main Street, U.S.A. All dates from the Maynard News. Further information from Mr. George Peterson and Mrs. Harold (Mary Peterson) Edwards.

It seems incongruous for a historical paper to be written about a business venture, for they come a dime a dozen in a commercial community. But in this case it reveals something about the one industry town that we were. For that reason it is important. The Village of Assabet, later incorporated as the Town of Maynard, was a community created by The Assabet Manufacturing Company for a handy supply of workers. It controlled the water rights of The Assabet River to Lake Boone and beyond, thus keeping complete control of what industry would enter town to compete for the working force. Obviously, self interest on the part of the company, and later American Woolen, which took over that bankrupt company, would not allow any other concern to enter town consequently. A newspaper article of May 15, 1903, speaks of The Harriman New Method Laundry as being the second largest industry in Maynard with seventy-five employees! What a revealing statement. And the only reason that a business of even this small size came into being was that The Harriman Brothers were local men, their father before them was one of the pioneer businessmen of the community. The Laundry, the same article continues, was started in September, 1890, by Frank S. Harriman with his brother Rowland and a lady assistant as help in two small rooms, 20 x 34 and 10 x 15 in the J.K. Harriman Building on Main Street in the west end. The next year the two brothers became partners. The building at that time had a grocery store, barber shop, photo studio, cigar shop, two tenements, and a hall. The Laundry, little by little, absorbed all the space in the building so it finally had 15,000 square feet in 8 rooms on three floors. The annual business in the year of the article was running between $50,000 and 60,000 a year, covering fifteen agencies in thirty-nine towns within a thirty mile radius of Maynard. Pay for 45 hour week for females was 7 dollars, 11 dollars for males. August 4, 1905: Horse drawn vehicles were replaced by large auto cars built to take laundry baskets. However, by May 7, 1909, The Laundry moved to Hudson, had assignment made to creditors, stockholders sold Laundry finally to Jeremiah O'Neil of Hudson (September 24, 1909) for $3000, leaving The Harriman Brothers free to incorporate with Riverview Laundry at Concord Junction (November 5, 1909) under the name of Harriman Company. May 13, 1910: the paper informs us the old Laundry building on the corner of Main and Harriman Court is to be converted into tenements by present owners. And so, this little giant, after 19 years, ceased to exist and offered no more competition for workers to American Woolen.

The first Italians coming to Maynard would be dated sometime in the 1890's for their initial organizational attempt was in 1906. This was the Italian Court of Foresters. The first meeting was in Odd Fellows Hall with Court of Italy of Boston present. (June 15, 1906) The organization was initiated July 20, 1906 (in Oddfellows Hall) with many present from out of town. Court Dante Alighieri of Foresters had the following for officers: S.C.R., Michele Roberts; C.R., Antonio Distasio; Treas. Celestino Colombo; J.W., Carmine DeMarco; S.B., Raffaele Dotoli; Lecturer, Domencio Distasio. There was nothing further in the newspapers so we do not know how long this court existed. The Italian Citizens's Club was organized Nov. 29, 1912 to aid Italians in beconing citizens and to take part in the spring election. The newspaper article goes on to explain that at present there are 11 Italian voters in town, 6 more for spring election. 20 will take out first papers next Saturday, and an estimated 600 Italians in Maynard. The Officers were: President, Joseph Morgandi; Vice President, Angelo Dimonico; Secretary, Ernestino Barilone; Treasurer, Kalle Columbus; Clerk, Joseph Morgandi. Aug. 8, 1913: this club held a picnic at Visocchi's Farm. Nothing further is heard of this club. Dec. 4, 1914: Newsnote tells us of several Italian residents being called back to Italy to serve in the army. This type of conscription was prevalent in the European countries. Aug. 19, 1921: Our next newsnote tells us of the organizational meeting to set up the Sons of Italy with installation of officers on Labor Day. (We have the good fortune to have in our midst in Maynard, Joseph Porrazo, lifetime barber and one of the original members of the Sons of Italy, who kindly consented to writing in its entirety the history of the Sons Of Italy. ------------- Roma Lodge No. 1103 Order of Sons of Italy in America of Maynard, Mass, was instituted on September 5, 1921 at Eagle Hall, Maynard, Mass, under the sponsorship of Italia Nuova Lodge No. 983 Order Sons of Italy in America of Somerville, Mass., in the presence of the Grand Deputy Emissary of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, Professor Antonio Dentamaro.

January 12, 1933: a news article tells us of the formation of the Italian Social Club at Hall on Waltham Street. The initial officers were: Pres. Raymond Gandolfo, Vice-Pres. Adam Mariani, Rec, Sec'y Vincinzo lannuzzo, Fin. Sec'y Vito Carbone, Treas. Charles Visocchi, Trustees Joseph Morgante, Luigi Tiberio, Pasquale Pareago. ----------------- (The following is again from Joseph Porrazzo: a monograph on the Italian Social Club) The Italian Social Club of Maynard, Mass, was instituted on Dec. 7, 1934 at their own Hall at 64 Waltham St., Maynard, Mass. The Charter was issued by the State of Massachusetts with initial number of seventy-five members. The purpose of this social club is to encourage and to promote social and recreational activities among the people of the Italian Race and of Italian extraction and to stimulate closer and more friendly relationships among them. The Officers of this Club were as follows: President - Adam Mariani Vice President - Charles Visocchi Recording Secretary - Vincenzo lanuzzo Financial Secretary - Patric Porego Treasurer - Vito Carbone 1st Trustee - Loreto Arcieri 2nd Trustee - Antonio Colombo 3rd Trustee - Angelo Curci Marshall - Rinaldo Mariani Custodian - Luigi Primiano Board of Directors: Adam Mariani John Perillo Charles Visocchi Frank Colombo Vincenzo lanuzzo Leonard lanuzzo Felice Micelli Antonio Curci Domenick Greeno Donato Dentino Angelo Curci The Club meets once a month. In the event of the death of any member the Club sends a Floral Tribute and provides a Committee of six members to attend the funeral. Also at the death of any member of the family the Club sends a Floral Tribute. The Club sponsors Civic Activities and encourages good Citizenship for the Town of Maynard. Joseph Porrazzo 35 Walnut Street Maynard, Massachusetts June 1963 ------------------- Dec. 15, 1933: a news note tells us of an Italian-American citizens club meeting at Coop. Hall Sunday afternoon as part of a naturalization drive with Rep. Frank Sheridan addressing the meeting. Feb. 22, 1935. An organizational meeting of a new society, "Our Lady of Indulgence", took place at the Italian Social Club Hall with the following as officers: Head Delegate Mrs. Caroline Visocchi, Officers Virginia Angelosanto and Santa Mariano. 80 were enrolled with Professor Amendo Mariano of Boston giving an address. Mar. 22, 1935: An Italian Citizens Club organized with Michael Lalli as President and Michael Barilone Vice-President at 10 Main Street for clubroom. In the latter 30's Saint Anthony's Society was organized. As of this writing (1969) the Italian people in Maynard still have some of these organizations in their midst: Sons of Italy, Italian Social Club, Our Lady of Indulgence Society, and the Saint Anthony's Society. With the passing of the old guard, and the thrust into the mainstream of American life of the young people of Italian extraction, these organizations are with us but not as strong. May it be said that this light-hearted people of Latin extraction have added a lot of vivacity and spice to the Maynard scene: an extra dimension which would surely have been missed in the hum-drum life of a mill-town. May it continue so. Read at the meeting of The Maynard Historical Society - B.R.

A newspaper report of June 23, 1899 tells us that a "horseless carriage is expected to be landed in town soon". It has been ascertained that Dr. F. U. Rich was the owner and the first to have an automobile in Maynard. The second and third owners shortly after were Frank Harriman of Harriman*s Laundry and David Loewe, local businessman. Thus opened the era of the horseless carriage. Car ownership for the next decade and a half remained a rarity until Henry Ford started his mass production line and the $5.00 day. During this period, however, the few dealers that sold cars also rented them for pleasure trips (price for a party of two was 50¢ an hour). Businesses and commercial establishments early started converting from the horse-drawn wagon to the horseless carriage. It was not until after the first World War that the auto came into its own. By 1925 the Assessors' report indicated 879 motor vehicles, one for every nine persons in town, and earlier, in 1920, six Socony gas dealers in business in town. The dirt roads of 1900 became macadam during this period, new traffic rules were promulgated as necessity arose, and parking in the rumble seat became a national pastime! The 1967 Town Report records 4508 motor vehicles in town, one for every two people. The movement of people and goods from one place to another has been taken over by the motor vehicle. We would venture to suggest however, that public transportation in the 1970's will of necessity again come into its own, and not necessarily of the Internal combustion type: pollution of the air will force this.
