  • Acadia Publishing Company
  • 1938
Nellie Carroll Thornton descended from early settlers of Southwest Harbor and was related, in one way or another, to practically all of her neighbors. She inherited her aunt Mary Ann Carroll’s notes for a planned history of the town. Nellie was the author of the SWH social column in the Bar Harbor Times from c. 1921 until c. 1958. She combined her notes from the Times with those from Mary Ann and a good deal of scholarship to produce a very complete history of the town, full of opinion, local mythology and history. She was an astute observer and made a laudable effort to distinguish mythology from history. She left the town she loved its most valuable gift. Traditions and records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton (Nellie C. Thornton) was originally published by Merrill & Webber Company in 1938. It was reproduced in 1988 by the Southwest Harbor Public Library and digitized in 2010.

3474Obituary for Chester E. Clement

  • 1937-03-12
Southwest Hbr. Boat Builder Died Saturday Chester E. Clement of Southwest Harbor, aged about sixty, died at the Mount Desert hospital at Bar Harbor late Saturday afternoon from the effects of an automobile accident which occurred soon after five o'clock Thursday. Mr. Clement started to overtake the mail with an important message, driving a light small truck when he had been accustomed to a heavy car. At a rough place in the road near Echo Lake the car left the road, turned over several times and struck one of the great boulders among the trees. Fortunately, the lights did not go out and the motor was running. Two young men, passing not long after the accident, saw the lights, investigated and found Mr. Clement lying on the ground with badly torn clothing and unconscious. His face was so covered with blood that they did not recognize him, but one remained with him while the other went to call Dr. George A. Neal from Southwest Harbor and also aid from a garage. He was taken to the hospital where it was found that he had ten broken ribs and numerous cuts and bruises besides head injuries. He seemed better Saturday but died suddenly from internal injuries. Mr. Clement's skill as a boat builder and machinist was widely known and he had built many fine craft in his shop here where he employed eight or ten men. Two boats are at present in the shop; one nearly completed and the other not far along.
