From: Sprague’s Journal of Maine History, vol. 11, May 1914, no. 1: “Mount Kineo and the Maine Summer Resort Industry,”:
“No correct history of the progress of the summer resort business in Maine could ever be written without giving much credit to Orrin A. Dennen. Mr. Dennen was born in Shirley, Maine, June 9, 1838, and died at Kineo July 2, 1907. Thus for the sspace of about forty years he was the general manager of this property, becoming not only a shrewd and sagacious business man but also one of the most capable hotel managers in the country. He was always a gentleman, genial and kind-hearted, and thousands from all over our land who made Kineo their summer abiding place learned to love him.”
