| The Jonathan Rich Family at the John Melbourne Rich House I Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: The house was built by John "Talking John" Melbourne Rich, the first of his three houses. John owed his Uncle Jonathan Rich (1836-1907) a sum of money, so he swapped this Tremont house for Jonathan's older less valuable Richtown house. Emily (Rich) Trask (1884-1981), John Melbourne Rich's daughter, said in a 1975 interview that she was born in the house, "in that back bedroom up there… That was a big place. It was different from these days…it had a piazza clean around it and round the front. Father was great on building big places but he got in debt so much that he had to give up and go over to Richville [Richtown] and live." The main house, minus barn and ell, still exists in 2016, although covered in green asbestos shingles. The house was originally painted a cream color with brown trim. It sits back from the road just before the Tremont Congregational Church. The people in the photograph left to right: Jonathan Rich (1836-1907) Roseanna B. (Dix) Rich - Mrs. Jonathan Rich (1841-1916) Avah Dalton Rich, Sr. (1876-1908) Unknown lady in a white shirtwaist Unknown seated lady Rena “Teenie” or “Tiny” May Thurston - a dwarf (1866-1905) Unknown lady in a hat Unknown man in a suit [show more] |

| Rear view of Preble House with William Pitt Preble and two women Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Photo, ca. 1895, rear view of the Preble House showing William Pitt Preble (1811-1905) with two women. The woman on the left could be Preble's second wife, Jane Matilda Hadlock Sanford Preble (1826-1898). The house was built by Captain Samuel Hadlock, Jr. and Samuel Spurling ca. 1827, and was occupied by Hadlocks and Prebles related through marriage or blood for its first century. The house and property have expanded and contracted over the course of its nearly 200 years. It was restored in the late 1940s and stands today as one of the largest and most historic homes on Great Cranberry Island. It was the boyhood home of Civil War General Andrew Barclay Spurling who was born across the street in the Freeman house. [show more] | ||

| The Inmans and the Coopers Celebrate Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: On April 19, 1893 the Cooper's son, Joseph Walter Cooper, married Nellie Sue Inman, daughter of Samuel Andrew Martin Inman and his first wife, Nancy Jane Dick. Nellie's father, Samuel Andrew Martin Inman was the owner of S.M. Inman & Co., one of the largest dealers in cotton in the world, with several branch offices in different parts of the South. He was one of the organizers and a director of the Southern Railway, the yards of which in Atlanta are named for him and was a major Georgian philanthropist. Nellie's brother, Henry Arthur Inman (1869-after 1920) and his wife, Roberta Sutherland Crew built their cottage, "Sutherland" now "Heeltap" at 16 Kinfolk Lane, Southwest Harbor, in 1901. Their son, Arthur Crew Inman (1895-1963) is notorious for having written the "Inman Diaries." On March 28, 1894 Samuel Andrew Martin Inman and his recently acquired second wife, Mildred (McPheeters) Inman (1867-1946), gave a lavish reception at their home in Atlanta, Georgia, for their daughter Nellie and her mother in law, Emma Jane Cooper. This fulsome description of the party, published in "The Atlanta Constitution" on March 29, 1894 illustrates the world inhabited by the Cooper and Inman families. [show more] |
