From the
Jewish
Encyclopedia, 1901-1906:

Kalvariya:
District town in the government of Suwalki, Russian Poland. In
1897 it had a total population of 8,420, including about 7,000
Jews. The Jewish community was established there in 1713, as
appears from a charter of privileges granted to the Jews of
the town on Aug. 8 of that year. According to Poluganski, in
his historical notes on Kalvariya published in 1857, Jewish
weavers lived in the place before it became a town and while
it was still known as the village of Traby. The present
synagogue, built of stone, was constructed in 1803. Another
house of prayer, also of stone, was built in 1865: it contains
a Talmud Torah established by the widow of Asriel Sobolevich.
The community supports a number of charitable institutions.
Among it's rabbis have been Zebi ben Zimhah ha-Kohen, brother
of Rabbi Naphtali of Sharty; Aaron Broda of Grodno (d. 1798);
his son Löb (d. 1837); Isaac Slonimer, author of "Emek
Yehoshua"; Löb Shapiro Smorgoner, a pupil of Manasseh Illyer;
Mordecai Klaczko (called also 'Mordecai Melzer'), author of "Tekelet
Mordekai"; and Jacob ben Solomon (d. 1835), who did much
toward beautifying the synagogue. Other prominent
scholars and communal workers were: Arele Natas, ancestor of
Mordecai Aaron Ginzburg; Isaac ben Israel Laskes; Mordecai
Zebi Grodzinski; Nata Reinherz; descendant of Joel Sirkes;
Menahem Efrat, brother of David Tebele Efrat; Israel ben
Jeremiah Ratner; Isaac Sterling and Jacob Rosenthal, both
poets; Zundel Grodzinski; Eli ben Mordecai Margollot, rabbi at
Rakishek; his son Asher; Rabbi Jacob Wolfkovich (d. in
Jerusalem); Nahum Rotstein, dayyan at Kalvariya and later
rabbi at Simva; Isaac Rittenberg, author of "Nimukin 'al Sefer
ha-Maklul" and a prolific writer for Hebrew periodicals; Isaac
ben Elihu Margollot, author of "Ma'oz ha-Talmud"; Bär Ratner,
author of an introduction to and commentaries on "Seder 'Olam"
and of scholia to the Palestinian Talmud; Isaac ben Meir
Margoliot, author of "Har Zalmon"; Moses Aaron Vizanski,
author of "Ez ha-Da'at"; Samuel ben Nata Reinherz; Meir ben
Hayyim; and Isaac Fried.

Marijampole:
(Polish Majampol; called formerly Staripole) Town
situated in the government of Suwalki, Russian Poland. The
Jewish community there, like the town itself, is of
comparatively recent date. At first the community was
dependent, in communal affairs, upon the neighboring town of
Kalvariya. Its first rabbi, Hayyim Shershaver, was elected in
1780, though the community was too poor to build a synagogue;
and the rabbi then visited a number of towns in order to
collect money for that purpose. In the Polish revolution of
1831 a Polish regiment passed through
Mariampol and carried away four of the Jewish elders
who were faithful to the Russians, and left them, bound, in
the forest. In the same year, on the occasion of an encounter
between the Russians and the Poles at
Mariampol, the latter locked all the Jews in the
synagogue, with the result that only one Jew was killed.
Mariampol has (1897) a total population of 6,298, of
which over two thousand are Jews.
