Researching our Lighthouse and It’s KeepersAs the Historian for the Huntington Lighthouse, my research takes me down all sorts of interesting pathways. The fun part is that you never know what strange or interesting facts you will uncover

Our very first keeper of the Lloyd Harbor lighthouse, Abiathar Johnson was found listed in the 1850 census. His occupation is listed as ‘Coaster’ a term used for seamen who plied the local waters. In the 1870 census he’s an ‘Oyster and clam man’. He must have been successful in this pursuit because his name appears in the ‘ Long Islander’ newspaper as part of the board of directors of a

ferry company transporting passengers from the Northport dock to Manhattan.

We’ve also found a note in the ‘long Islander’ of November 28, 1884,that Neale Ward of Staten Island, went on duty at the Lloyd Neck Lighthouse. Less than a year later, Oct. 9, 1885 he was transferred to the Norwalk Lighthouse.. He remains a bit of a mystery, as we know nothing about him except for his name.

Mr. Ward, in turn, was replaced by Robert McGlone. Mr. McGlone was born in Brooklyn in 1856 His obituary states that he was stationed at Easton’s Neck Lighthouse before coming to the Lloyd Neck Lighthouse. . He was appointed as acting light keeper for the Lloyd Harbor Lighthouse on September 26, 1885. On July 9, 1886 he receives his permanent appointment to this position. He serves at the old lighthouse and then continues at the new lighthouse until Jan 31, 1919. He, his wife and their five children lived in the original lighthouse. Although he is mentioned numerous times in the newspapers of the day, he seems well hidden in census records. He is not listed in 1890 or 1900 By the 1910 census, his family has split up, with only two children living with him. Much to my surprise, his name is listed as ‘Archie’ McGlone. in this document. Why Archie? Was that his middle name, and why did he suddenly use it? He died in mid February of 1919, just two weeks after his retirement..We cannot talk about the history of our lighthouse without giving special mention to Augusta ‘Gussie’ Harrigan. In 1900 when Robert

McGlone’s wife died, Gussie came into his life as his housekeeper. While Robert McGlone worked in the lighthouse, Gussie took care of his children and did housekeeping chores. When Robert McGlone died in 1919, Gussie was allowed to live in the old lighthouse as a care-taker. She remained there until 1925 when she moved into ‘town.’ By this time all the McGlone children were grown and had left the ‘lighthouse.’ Did you know …. Lighthouse keepers were required to keep a ‘log’, a list of daily events. Each keeper had his own style. On the left side of this log was a day by day listing of the weather. On the right side, the keeper could write any ‘interesting’ happenings. It is here that we learn about visits by the supply boat and by inspectors, Some keepers recorded their daily maintenance routine which usually included some form of painting of the lighthouse. We are lucky to have a copy of the Keepers Log for the years 1874 to 1891. If you visit us, please ask to see a portion of it. Here are a few samples from 1889: Jan 31: Painted steps to lantern, Feb. 7 Harbor Frozen over Feb. 12 Whitewashed Kitchen (walls) Feb. 25 Painted kitchen floor. March 11 Lighthouse tender ‘John Rogers’ arrives with the inspector. Station inspected 5 PM.

September 1895… “Application has been made for the digging of a deep channel through the western portion of Lloyd’s Harbor and the digging of a canal across the narrow neck of land that separates that body of water from Cold Spring Harbor.”

July 19, 1902…. Robert McGlone, keeper of the Lloyd Harbor Lighthouse caught a shark, more than five feet long in his gill net that was set off the lighthouse?

The pay for a light house keeper in 1901 was $600. (that works out to $11.60 a week)

The original lighthouse of 1857 had only its light to warn boats of the dangerous low water and rocks in the area. It was not until the new lighthouse was built that a fog bell was added. The fog horn was not added until the 1940’s.

wIN MEMORY OF JOSHUA PHAIR

We love you, you "little weasel"Happy Fishing Brother

Love,Laura

We’ve been having some fun at the Lighthouse this year! Late 2010 to present has been a year of much work, however, it was not a year like many before. We continued with our ongoing maintenance of the lighthouse but put our efforts into several fabulous new events to raise money and awareness. There have been many visitors to the lighthouse by professionals to look over our very serious foundation and Rip Rap problem. We took the time to step back and look over our beautiful lighthouse and analyze how far we have come and

where we need to go in the next 5 years.

We started with hanging our wreath a little earlier to coincide with the first ever Boat Parade, The Huntington

Harbor Parade of Lights. It was a huge success and brought the festivities to many of our non-boating neighbors on land. Our Christmas wreath has become a tradition that must continue. In order for this to be a success we must thank several groups of people for this yearly event. First thanks to Martin Viette Nursery for greening the 12 foot frame donated by Sound Marine with beautiful fresh pine. Second, to the brave guys from the Huntington Harbormasters office who supply us with a warm boat to

use as our transport, and who also supply most of the muscle with some of our volunteers and Mike from Seatow to get this 12 foot, 500lb wreath in place. Without them, we would not be able to give this present to the very late-season boaters who pass the lighthouse so often. Another special person to thank is Adam Goldstein!

For the past two years he has added Christmas lights and a Chanukah Menorah in the window of the lighthouse. He figured out how to take regular 110 Christmas lights and re-wire them to work from a solar panel and a 12 volt battery! The darn lights stayed lit from Thanksgiving

until March! As for the nuts and bolts, we have a beautiful new fully-restored front door and a new and improved toilet system. We went away from the fresh water system and installed a new salt water system. Professionals

said we couldn't pump salt water up 12 feet...guess what? We did it! It is state-of-the-art. It definitely beats carrying many 5 gallon jugs of water out to the lighthouse on a regular basis. Woo hoo, Thank you to our King of the Commode, Frankie D, and his cohorts Brian and Jeff. They have worked tirelessly this year

to make these incredible improvements.

Our tours are more popular than ever, with more people ‘visiting’ us each year. If you haven’t

taken a tour of the lighthouse, there are two more tours this season. If you can’t make it, check our website at www.huntingtonlighthouse.org next next spring and check the 2012 schedule. If you’re looking for a different Christmas present to give a boating friend, don’t forget to visit our the Lighthouse Shop on our website.. Want a unique place to have a small party…The lighthouse is it! Your guests will never

forget it!

We don’t know how it happens, but every time we’ve needed some special help at the light, someone, as if by magic appears. Some of our saviours are the whole crew at Coneys Marine… whether it’s to lend us an extra fender for the dock, to help us with a boat when ours is out of commission, or to take care of our boat in an emergency, they know when to appear with their magic touch. They are truly amazing. For those of you that don’t know, they were responsible for the Boatyard Cabaret featuring Risa Finkel.

It was an unbelievable three day event that we will never forget. We can’t forget the Coast Guard who help us with some of the repairs and maintenance at the light. They’ve even promised a better, brighter light for our little Castle on the Bay. Hopefully it will be in place for next

years boating season.

Fund-raising is a necessary part of this labor of love. We have tried to make it fun but sometimes it doesn’t seem so! Every penny donated to the lighthouse, whether it be cash, buying a ticket to one of our events or purchasing a brick for our walkway, goes right back into the lighthouse. If you own a house on the water, you know what salt air can do to it. Now, imagine a house sitting totally surrounded by water with no one living in it to deal with the everyday problems. In early spring we check the lighthouse to see what damage mother nature has brought upon us. Over the past years we’ve noticed that the rip-rap, the rocks around the lighthouse, has moved. This is due partially to the bay freezing and thawing, and partially due to the wakes of passing boats. This past year, the rip-rap has moved enough that we can see damage to the concrete base of the lighthouse. Yes, it has been going on, undetected, for years, but now we can finally see it and it’s not pretty. The repairs will be costing many, many thousands of dollars that we do not yet have ($400,000 to be

exact!). Of course we are applying for every grant that we can, but there are only so many dollars to go around, so

the frantic fund-raising continues.

Our first fund-raiser of the year, starring Risa Finkel, a spectacular singer backed by world class musicians was held at Coneys Boatyard, hence the name “‘Boatyard Cabaret”, If you attended , it was a wonderful night of entertainment. If you weren’t there, you missed something magical. We pray she might do it again! Our next event will be something really

special and different. We will be raffling off a night for two at the lighthouse, including supper and breakfast. Imagine the bragging rights you will have when you say to your friends “Yes, we spent a night AT the Huntington Lighthouse” The tickets will be on sale soon on the website and through our

volunteers.

The history of the Huntington Harbor Lighthouse is not just the building, but also includes the men who were its keepers. Several years ago, we were in contact with a lady who is related to Abiatha Johnson, the second keeper of the old lighthouse. ( 1857 - 1869) This year we have been contacted by family members of Robert McGlone, keeper of both the old and the new lighthouse from 1888 to 1919, and of Arthur Bouder who served from January of 1936 to March of 1938. Through these people we are able to fill in

bits of information about our keepers.

If you are related to any of our keepers, have photos of them, photos of the inside of the lighthouse prior to 1960, we would love to have copies, or better yet, hi-resolution scans of them. If you’re not sure how to do this, we can do it for you. While giving tours, we speak of Robert McGlone and the other keepers as if we knew them, but as of now, we only have photos of one keeper, Marvin Burnham who served at the

Lighthouse from March 31, 1919 to September 3, 1926.

And, finally, mark your calendars... June 16, 2012 is our 100th Birthday!!! Check our website and Facebook pages to see how we’re

planning to celebrate his special date and for Musicfest 2012!!

if you’re a boater then you already know the importance of the Huntington lighthouse. This beacon, however, is more than just a navigational aid. Many local businesses and even the town consider it to be so significant that they have adopted its likeness as a proud symbol to represent them.

For over 20 years, volunteers have physically and financially helped restore what years of neglect have done. This kind of support is continually needed to maintain the function and beauty of this historic landmark.

That is why we ask for your help, too.

You will not only be helping to maintain the lighthouse, but “preserving” your Business, association, club or Family Name in stone for generations to come. These pavers are not just cosmetic. When cemented in place, they will provide extra support to the base. What a wonderful gift or fitting memorial!

We ask that you respond NOW. The sooner you respond, the sooner we can install them and the less chance there is of further erosion.
