WOMEN LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS.
q Woman's Home Companion.

From The Womans Home Companion
For great many years women have occupied
positions as lighthouse keepers until now there
are few States with coastne that do not num-
Der at least one woman among their light keepers.
and frequently a greater number.
The accommodations Of lighthouse station are
OF course, varied. Sometimes they simple but
in the of the structures they are very
elaborate. In the ordinary building there usu-
ally service room, living room. bedroom, oroom
and storeroom.
The first woman to act as a lighthouse keeper
probably Elizabeth Smith, who in 1880 kept the
light at Old Field Point, Long Island and had
full charge of it for twenty-five years Nancy
Rose appointed in November 1857 as a light
house keeper to succeed her husband at Stony
Point, on the Hudson River. She is the first
woman keeper whose appointment is on official
record: In her seventy-seventh year Mrs Rose
still climbed the ladder 10 the light with no un-
certain step faithfully keeping her vigil under
stormy and starry skies.
Another one of these heroines Is Mrs Martha A
Keller, who has spent twenty-four years In va
rious lighthouses along the North Carolina coast
Nine years OF this time she was fourteen miles
from postoff1ce and ten miles from land but She
had her birds and flowers and books, and between
them and the performance OF her duties she never
had time TO be lonesome. Mrs. Josephine freeman
has kept the light on Blakiston Island near where
the broad Potomac joins the bay, for twenty five
years, ard Mrs Daniel Williams. keeper Of the
light In Little Traverse Harbor, Mich, has been
In the business for thirty-two years.
