| 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. |

| The lives of authors Ruth Moore and Eleanor Ruth Mayo were their own, but their private lives and the lives they led on Mount Desert Island, were so intertwined that archivists find it difficult to divide documents, stories and photographs between them. It is for this reason that this Item exists in the database. It ties together other Items that relate more to both women than to either as an individual. “Homesick For That Place: Ruth Moore Writes About Maine” by Jennifer Craig Pixley is so well conceived that it may be recommended to those who are interested in Ruth and Eleanor above many other works, but there is much to be learned from everything included here. |

| Bar Harbor - When the archaeologists of summer probe the fragile layers of Great Gott Island history, they say the faint bark of an Indian dog is freed. It was Maine writer Ruth Moore who first imagined the dog's bark, as she sifted through the sand and sod on her native Great Gott Island, pausing later to reflect on the island's history in her poem, "The Indian Shell Heap": |

| 3474 | Obituary for Chester E. Clement |
|
|
|
| Southwest Hbr. Boat Builder Died Saturday Chester E. Clement of Southwest Harbor, aged about sixty, died at the Mount Desert hospital at Bar Harbor late Saturday afternoon from the effects of an automobile accident which occurred soon after five o'clock Thursday. Mr. Clement started to overtake the mail with an important message, driving a light small truck when he had been accustomed to a heavy car. At a rough place in the road near Echo Lake the car left the road, turned over several times and struck one of the great boulders among the trees. Fortunately, the lights did not go out and the motor was running. Two young men, passing not long after the accident, saw the lights, investigated and found Mr. Clement lying on the ground with badly torn clothing and unconscious. His face was so covered with blood that they did not recognize him, but one remained with him while the other went to call Dr. George A. Neal from Southwest Harbor and also aid from a garage. He was taken to the hospital where it was found that he had ten broken ribs and numerous cuts and bruises besides head injuries. He seemed better Saturday but died suddenly from internal injuries. Mr. Clement's skill as a boat builder and machinist was widely known and he had built many fine craft in his shop here where he employed eight or ten men. Two boats are at present in the shop; one nearly completed and the other not far along. |
