Alfred Warren Haskell was a trader.
Lucy Ballard Russell -- cause of death "pernicious anemia".
Lois Imogene Sargent died young.
Hugh Douglass was a light keeper for the Boston Lighthouse.
Boston Light, aptly dubbed the "ideal American lighthouse" by the historian Edward Rowe Snow, holds a place of honor among our nation's beacons.
This was the first light station established on the North American continent, and the last in the United States to be automated. It's also our only light station that still retains an official keeper.
Because Boston Light was destroyed in the Revolution and rebuilt in 1783, the tower itself is the second oldest in the U.S. New Jersey's Sandy Hook Light, built in 1764, is the oldest lighthouse tower.
