Luce was orphaned by her parents, Philip Luce and Anne Manter, in her late twenties and suffered a debilitating disease leaving her nearly homebound at the family farmhouse.[1] She raised bantam hens to survive, often giving them fanciful names such as Ottee Ophete, Pondy Lilly and Letoogie Tickling.[2] She wrote and self-published poetry pamphlets about her chickens and got professional portraits done of them and herself.[3] Tourists would come to her cottage and small store on the property to visit with her and purchase keepsakes to bring home.[2] As she buried her chickens on the property, her collection of chicken gravestones became its own tourist attraction. She was considered "one of the Island's most well-known historical figures."[4] When Luce died, the chicken gravestones were given to the town library. Luce herself is buried in the West Tisbury cemetery, where her marble gravestone is decorated with chickens.[1] LegacyLuce's chicken names live on in the names of chickens at the Los Angeles Zoo.[5] Composer Thomas LaVoy is currently working on a commissioned choral piece based on her writings.[6] Vineyard artist Daniel Waters has created a series of linoleum block prints featuring Luce and her chickens.[7] Nancy Luce's manuscripts and other related material are at the John Hay Library at Brown University.[8] References1. ^1 {{cite web | last=Bender | first=Sydney | title=Island Eccentric Clucked to Her Own Beat | website=The Vineyard Gazette - Martha's Vineyard News | date=2014-10-23 | url=https://vineyardgazette.com/news/2014/10/23/island-eccentric-clucked-her-own-beat | access-date=2018-12-22}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Luce, Nancy}}{{Massachusetts-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite book | last=Nadler | first=Holly | title=Vineyard confidential : 350 years of scandals, eccentrics, and strange occurrences | publisher=Down East Books | publication-place=Camden, ME | year=2006 | isbn=978-0-89272-687-5 | oclc=70822421 | pages=73–74}} 3. ^{{cite web | title=Portrait of Nancy Luce, island eccentric, and her bantie hens. | website=NYPL Digital Collections | url=https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/510d47e0-73ac-a3d9-e040-e00a18064a99 | access-date=2018-12-22}} 4. ^{{cite web | title=Martha's Vineyard Museum Exhibitions | website=Martha's Vineyard Museum | date=2015-01-31 | url=http://www.mvmuseum.org/nancyluce.php | access-date=2018-12-22}} 5. ^{{cite web | last= Brennan | first=George |title=The Nancy Luce story goes Hollywood, sort of | website=The Martha's Vineyard Times | date=2017-08-02 | url=http://www.mvtimes.com/2017/08/02/nancy-luce-story-goes-hollywood-sort/ | access-date=2018-12-22}} 6. ^{{cite web | title=Nancy Luce Commission Consortium - Composer | website=Thomas LaVoy - Composer | date=2018-03-26 | url=https://www.thomaslavoy.com/nancy-luce/ | access-date=2018-12-22}} 7. ^{{cite web | title=Gallery of Prints | website=Daniel Waters, Poet & Printmaker | url=http://www.indianhillpress.com/gallery.html | access-date=2018-12-22}} 8. ^{{cite web |title=Nancy Luce Papers |url=https://search.library.brown.edu/catalog/b2497960 |website=Brown University Library |publisher=Brown University |accessdate=22 December 2018}} 4 : 1814 births|1890 deaths|People from Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts|People from West Tisbury, Massachusetts |
