There really was “Only One Shannock”…Anne Hoxie once lamented: “I’ve nothing against the mill, but I cannot feel, for the life of me, as joyous when I look at it as I used to when visualizing the oak trees and watermelons all in one rose-colored dream.

She was then Miss Nellie Clark, (afterwards Mrs. Nellie Carmichael.”
