| Interview of Marguerite Hancock Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: In this interview, Carol Hall talks to Marguerite Hamblen Hancock about some family history and how, among others, her grandfather "went to sea." She talks about the houses she grew up in, attending grammar school in Southwest Harbor, and playing basketball in school. The winter games between the three high schools on the island were a source of entertainment for everyone. During summer, she would go camping at Long Pond in cabins. She mentions how there are fewer grocery stores in Southwest Harbor now then there used to be. After high school, she got married to her husband Teddie who was stationed at the Navy Radio Station in Seawall. After getting married, the two returned back to Teddie's home in Illinois for a year. Afterwards, they permanently settled in Southwest Harbor. She remembers the fires of 1922 and the flu epidemic of 1918, but also talks about the 4th of July celebrations in McKinley.

| Interview of Athol Higgins Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Ralph Stanley interviews Athol Higgins, who talks about her husband, Howe Higgins, and his jobs. Before World War One, he worked in the Post Office in Bar Harbor and saw the switch from horses to automobiles. After World War One, he worked in the customs office in Southwest Harbor for twelve years. His duties as customs officer got in the way of some friendships. He talks of sardine boats that went herring fishing in bad weather and fog. The sardine factory was a busy place during the Spring and Summer as it was the main source of employment. Howe helped start the fire department after the fire of 1922; his office was in the Odd Fellows Hall and he carried out a lot of files to prevent them from burning. Athol talks about walking out to "the small island in the middle of the harbor" for picnics, and having to be careful of the tide. [show more] | |
