| 14719 | Clark - Henry Higgins Clark (1811-1897) aka Deacon Clark |
|

| For a fascinating description of Deacon Clark and the Island House, written by a man who knew him as a child, see “Recollections of Southwest Harbor, Maine 1885-1894” by Jesse L. Parker, p. 29-32, manuscript, 1955 - Jesse Lindon Parker (1881-1966) This valuable manuscript is a narrative of the early history of the town by an eyewitness. There are largely unknown or unreported facts on almost every page. Deacon Clark was what has come to be called in the 21st Century an "Alpha Male." In 1871 in Southwest Harbor, Maine, he filled these functions: Insurance Agent, Steamboat Agent, Herring Dealer, Proprietor of the Island House Hotel, Owner of the Telegraph concession, Justice of the Peace. - Mount Desert Island and the Cranberry Isles, by Ezra A. Dodge, published by N.K. Sawyer, Printer in Ellsworth, p. 50-55 - 1871. |

| Probably by Bryant Brandley. Information written on the reverse: Ellen Cooper beside driver (Ellen K. McInnes's aunt) Sarah Kaighn in back of driver (Ellen K. McInnes's aunt) Howard Cooper in back of Sarah Kaighn (Howard C. Johnson's uncle) 1877 Judging from other photographs, Robert Kaighn possibly may be identified as the gentleman 4th from left on the near side of the buckboard and it seems probably that his wife, Mary (Cooper) Kaighn, is on his right, 3rd from left. |

| 11734 | Fish Factory Workers in Southwest Harbor with Horse Mackerel and Halibut |
|
|
|
|
| "The catch. probably tuna (called horse mackerel locally), has arrived at the packing house, having been dressed on board vessel. Now it is up to this hardy packing crew to wash these monstrous fish before packing them for shipment to Boston. Except for Asian markets, which existed mostly in large cities, there were few buyers for this product. At other times this packing house was filled with the more predominant fish of the day: hake, cod, haddock, and mackerel. Crews would wash the fish, lather them with salt, and pack them in ice in the tall barrels shown at rear for shipment to Gloucester or Boston. Only a few dealers in Manset, such as the Parkers, specialized in halibut, as it had to be shipped fresh on ice. Mackerel was the only product that had to be inspected once it arrived in Gloucester. As this list suggests, local fisheries processed a variety of fish. The local fishermen would head out, from spring through fall, following the schools, returning with whatever the sea would offer, and putting extra change in their pockets." – Text accompanying this photograph in “Mount Desert Island - Somesville, Southwest Harbor, and Northeast Harbor” by Earle G. Shettleworth Jr. and Lydia B. Vandenbergh - Images of America Series, 2001. p. 43. |

| 6575 | Probably Amelia Mary Clark, Mrs. William Thomas Holmes |
|
|
|
|
| The photograph belongs to the Clark family, descendants of Nathan Clark and Mercy (Higgins) Clark. Archivists have debated Mary's identity for some time. Their best guess is that she is Amelia Mary Clark (1831-1905), daughter of John Clark and Margaret Adaline (Richardson) Clark, granddaughter of Nathan Clark and Mercy (Higgins) Clark – Mrs. William Thomas Holmes, mother of Anson Irving Holmes. The photograph was likely taken at the Lewis Holmes house on Fernald Point Road. |
