This is a considerable improvement made upon an earlier interview, I held this past summer (2025) w/ Marnie Darling Voter. Marnie ,a direct decendent of Benjamin Darling, of whom all other residents decended from, were, at the turn of the century in 1912, evicted from Malaga Island, Maine.

These Malaga Island residents, were primarily subsistence fishermen along the coastal Islands of Maine, who were victimized by " a blanket of yellow journalism," eugenics, and racism in the extreme.

With the official assistance and "blessings" from the Governor of the State of Maine, a deed for four hundred dollars, from a still undisclosed purchaser, was also to have been used to put up a hotel on Malaga Island. For unknown reasons, neither the hotel, nor did any other development ever transpire on Malaga.
