10440	Nell Rebecca (Carroll) Thornton and Seth Sprague Thornton Leaving Southwest Harbor for Houlton	Image, Photograph, Photographic Print	People Transportation, Automobile	Carroll - Nellie Rebecca (Carroll) Thornton (1871-1958)		1912-07-10	Southwest Harbor		Nell and Seth Thornton are shown leaving Southwest Harbor for their home in Houlton, Maine in a beautiful 1910 Model T Ford automobile. Nell sits in the back seat, a man is driving and another stands at the side of the car. The Model T may belong to Seth or the other man who may possibly be driving them to Bar Harbor or Ellsworth to board the train for Houlton. If the Ford belonged to the Thorntons the trip from Southwest Harbor to Houlton would have taken them at least 11 hours by automobile in 1912. They probably would have stopped for at least one night thereby making an even longer trip. The Carroll family celebrated the Fourth of July every year with a picnic at their old family home, The Mountain House, on Carroll hill in Southwest Harbor.
