The back of this photograph, in the Whitmore family collection, says: "Harriet, dau. Of Enoch and Charlotte (Kimball) Boynton of Groveland, Mass. Born about 1862. Ancestry line. William Boynton - 1 - & Sarah Jackson Joshua Boynton - 2 - & Hannah Barnett Joshua Boynton - 3 - & Sarah Dole Enoch Boynton - 4 - & Rachel Foster Enoch Boynton - 5 - & Abigail Farren Methusalah Boynton - 6 - & Amelia Dodge Enoch Boynton - 7 - & Charlotte Kimball Harriet and her brother Charles, living out at Seattle This photo 1894" These facts agree with a mixture of other accounts and would lead one to suppose that Harriet's photograph was kept by the Whitmore family, who intermarried with the Carrolls and Lurveys, because Harriet was a first cousin twice removed to Rachel Foster Lurvey (1791-1881), Mrs. John Carroll. Harriet was, therefore, in her own generation a third cousin to the ten children of Jacob William and Rebecca (Whitmore) Lurvey Carroll.

"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.
