Lincoln Keith Ingersoll

Lincoln Keith Ingersoll (30 June 1914 – 16 December 1993) was a Canadian teacher, writer, historian and museum director. He was born in Seal Cove on the island of Grand Manan, New Brunswick. While still in his teens he started contributing local news items to the Saint Croix Courier, a weekly newspaper published in St. Stephen, New Brunswick. In 1934, he became the paper's regular Grand Manan correspondent at a salary of $10 a month. He continued in this role for 21 years. A prolific writer and author of several books, Ingersoll wrote that other than manual labour in the Grand Manan fisheries, "everything I have done by way of employment, or community service, since that early beginning in journalism has been made easier by my intimate acquaintance with the typewriter". He taught school for 21 years, becoming the principal of the Grand Manan school district.

Ingersoll was a leader in the effort to establish the Grand Manan Museum, which opened in 1967. He served as the museum's first curator and executive director. Ingersoll died in Fredericton on 16 December 1993.

A major expansion of the Grand Manan Museum in 1998 was named the L. Keith Ingersoll Memorial Wing in his honour. The expansion doubled the size of the museum and allowed wheelchair access to the building for the first time.
