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 was an astute observer and made a laudable effort to distinguish mythology from history. She left the town she loved its most valuable gift.
