Notes:
Mary Elise Fellows White, born in Skowhegan in 1873, devoted much of her life to music: playing the violin and writing about music. Writing poetry and her parents, children, and extended family also helped sustain her through professional, financial, and personal ups and downs.
The only child of James and Deborah Swan Fellows of Skowhegan, "May" Fellows showed early musical talent. Her mother encouraged the young violinist, arranged lessons for her, and ultimately, when Mary Elise was nine years old, enrolled her in the New England Conservatory in Boston.
