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.

Nell Rebecca (Carroll) Thornton, Mrs. Seth Sprague Thornton, is leaving Southwest Harbor at Steamboat Wharf for her home in Houlton, Maine. Nell would have travelled by steamship from SWH by way of Bar Harbor to meet the Maine Central Railroad at Hancock Point. She would have ridden that train to Bangor (Northern Maine Junction) where she would have taken the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad to Houlton. The train trip from Bangor to Houlton probably took about 5 hours.
