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.

Robert Sr., known in the family as "Lindsay," was a craftsman. The vessel in the center, on the back step, was a model of the "Falucca," a lateen rigged pirate ship. "All Lindsay’s models were made from scratch, frequently from plans he had found in periodicals, or purchased from a supply house. Sometimes when he didn’t have plans, but was asked to make a model by the owner of a sailboat, he took photos and measurements of the boat in the water and drew his own plans. Lindsay made many things including: sleds, hunting knives, hatchets, crooked knives, canes, chests, weather vanes, half model sailboats, full model sail boats, water line models, dioramas etc.

"Archibald and Mira Dix were great-grandchildren of William Dix Jr. (1776-1814) who was in Tremont when he died in 1814. Archibald L. Dix (1867-after 1940) was born in January 1867 to master mariner John P. Dix and Harriet E. Verrill in Tremont, Maine. Capt. and Mrs. Dix settled in Philadelphia some time between 1870 and 1880. Archibald attended the University of Pennsylvania and became a doctor, graduating from there in 1893. He apparently had some notable success in treating Lupus. Archibald’s sister, Mira Verrill Dix (1870-1934) was born on May 18, 1870. She became a teacher. Archibald and Mira lived together in Philadelphia, with various members of their family, for the rest of their lives. While neither married they were frequently mentioned in the social pages of newspapers as attendants in weddings of their family. On November 18, 1897 Archibald was best man at the wedding of his first cousin, Frederick C. Holden, when Frederick married Maud Wilson in Brooklyn, New York. Frederick C. Holden’s mother, Hannah Augusta Verrill, was a sister of Archibald’s mother, Harriet E. Verrill. Their sister, May E. Dix (1873-), married John Lucas on November 19, 1902 with Myra, “Miss Verrill Dix,” as maid of honor and Archibald serving as an usher. After May’s husband, John Lucas died, she lived with the family in Philadelphia from at least 1920 to 1930. Mira, who sometimes went by the name of Verrill Dix, and her sister, May (Dix) Lucas rented the Miller Cottage in Bar Harbor in 1924. Mira Verrill Dix died c. December 29, 1934 and was buried on January 3, 1935 at the Westminster Cemetery in Marion, Pennsylvania where her father was buried. Her brother, Archibald, signed the papers. Archibald L. Dix died some time after 1940."
