Brighton-Boston experience

by Linda

 

As I look in the census from the early 1900's in Brighton, MA a neighborhood of Boston, I see streets and streets filled with Lithuanian immigrants living there. My grandparents lived on Market St, Lincoln and Wexford Ave. Most are boarders and I imagine live in a room within the main house. Do any of you have any stories of how these immigrants lived back then? I know that my grandmother work for Hood Rubber Co at some point and she told stories of how badly the managers treated immigrants. However, I don't know how they lived within the neighborhoods. If anyone has any stories I would love it if you would share. Thanks
