Dwelley states: "This extensive genealogical record of the Stanley family is written largely in the hand of Professor William Otis Sawtelle. It appears to have been prepared mostly during the first decade of the 20th century. Notes such as "Living in ____1906", etc. appear on several of the records. There is a little data from 1920s and later, but it has usually been added in another hand. Professor Sawtelle fell ill in 1936 and died in 1939."

|  Interview of Eleanor Gilley Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Eleanor Hadlock Gilley, born at Seawall, talks about growing up on the island and her family's history in the area. She walked to school and says it wasn't too bad until she had to go to Southwest Harbor for high school; she remembers getting caught in a blizzard in during a commute in 1922. She stopped at a friends home in Manset and was stuck for two days. Growing up, her father had a penchant for travelling and the family often lost track of him. After high school, Eleanor would go on to teach in the area, spending a total of seventeen years between Trenton, Tremont, and Southwest Harbor. Her husband, who she met in high school, was a lifelong basketball fan and worked for the Hinckley company as a painter. Her grandmother worked in the Manset hotels doing laundry. She also talks about her great-great grandfather who was married to "The Prussian Lady" and would later die at sea. She tells stories from the Great Depression and eating "salmon loaf," as it was the only food available. [show more] | |

| Interview of Ruth Grindle Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Esther Rodick interviews Ruth Grindle who talks about her life in Southwest Harbor. Neither of her parents were originally from the area, but her father moved to Bar Harbor to work in a jewelry story before moving to Southwest Harbor to open his own store. In 1921, he became the town Postmaster, but was dismissed in 1933 when FDR was elected-back then, the Postmaster was tied to the political party in power. Ruth talks about how she loved watching the JT Morris steamship come to town and seeing the workers running on and off with the freight. She remembers fires in town, and horse stable, and ice storage. Ruth met her husband at Echo Lake, where she went for recreation. She worked at the Dirigo Hotel and her husband worked as a boatbuilder. After recovering from Guillan-Barre syndrome, the two opened a store in the 1950s which sold a wide variety of things.

| Interview of Henry and Elizabeth Guthrie Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Esther Rodick interviews Henry and Elizabeth Guthrie. Originally, the couple lived together in New York City where Henry worked as a lawyer at a very big firm. They came to MDI in 1933 after being invited to the house party of a friend, and soon began coming regularly. They usually chartered a boat from Farnham Butler, but eventually bought the boat "Snowflake" outright after enjoying it so much. Elizabeth recalled a conversation between Farnham Butler and Henry Hinckley about the future of boatbuilding. She also talks about taking the "Bar Harbor Express," a train from Washington D.C. up to a ferry which would complete the journey to Bar Harbor. The Guthries were always just summer people, but felt that they belonged in Southwest Harbor and were very complimentary of the people they met in town. They talk about how they would spend time in SWH every summer because of the great dancing and restaurants. She talks about sailing up and down the coast of Maine, her love of ecology, donating land to the local college for research and studies, and their extensive travelling. They took the first passenger ship to England after World War Two ended. She finishes by telling a story of a passenger fixing a Douglass DC-3 plane with a screwdriver; he was an expert mechanic after working on them during World War Two. [show more] | |

| Interview of Andrew Herrick Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: A woman interviews Andrew Herrick, who begins by listing off al his male ancestors from memory. The earliest Herrick came to America around the Revolutionary War and built a log cabin at the head of Somes Sound, but he did not stay. The first Herrick to stay was Isaac who ran a tide mill in Southwest Harbor. Andrew grew up in the house that Isaac built. He served in the Army during the first World War for the final 18 days of the war, though even those were grueling and horrifying. After service, he returned to marry Hulda Hodgkins, with whom he had a daughter. Andrew drove a truck for a gas company, living in Bar Harbor and Ellsworth but was forced to stop that work in 1952 following a shoulder injury. He has many stories from his time in Southwest Harbor; the first car in the town, Beech Mountain priginally being called Herrick Mountain, finding bootleg booze in Summer People's houses. He talks about his ancestor William Herrick who was feared by the British. Andrew also had several stories about Billy Tot, a man who worked as a cabin boy for Captain Norwood and eventually lived a primitive life on the edges of society near Southwest Harbor.

| Interview of Nelson Herrick Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: In the second part of this interview, Nelson Herrick continues to talk about being a draftee during World War One but being saved from service by the signing of the armistice. He tells the story of meeting his wife by giving her a ride in his truck. At the time she was a widow with two children and he was delivering milk and farm products. Nelson tells the story of a carnival coming to town and offering $300 to a farmer for his land, not telling him what they planned to use it for. He also claims that he was the first volunteer firefighter after the town acquired a fire engine. Reluctant to tell more, he admits to remembering rum running during Prohibition. Many locals took part and kids found booze in the cellars of Summer People's homes. He also remembers Wabanaki people(Indians) living in a village at the Somesville end of Long Pond and harvesting materials to make baskets. He talks about clamming on the island, how they were processed, and how they were used to help people walk across muddy ground in the spring. He answers questions about his ancestors during the Civil War, telling the story of an ancestor who hired a Russian to take his place in the Army. Then he talks about his time as a teamster working with horses and wagons delivering hay to Ellsworth. He also tells a story about delivering old stones to be used as garden decorations.
