The Keepers of the Nubble Light |
|
1879 - 1885 The first keeper of this lighthouse station was Nathaniel Otterson. 1885 -1904 Brackett Lewis was the next keeper. His daughter married in the lantern room. 1904-1912 William Brooks was the next keeper. Rumor has is that he was forced to resign after it was found out he was charging fishermen and sightseers to get onto the island. 1912-1919 James Burke 1919-1921 William Richardson 1921-1928 Fairfield Moore 1928-1930 Edmond Howe 1930-1943 Eugene Coleman 1943-1975 - CAN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE PLEASE E-MAIL ME. 1976 - 1979 Nancy Ouprie 1984 - 1986 Bob French was the keeper of the light. 1986-1987 Russell's Ahlgrea was the last keeper of the light. His term ended when the Coast Guard opted to automate the lighthouse. Mr. Ahlgrea moved out in July of 1987. I have found these names in various articles but I still am having problems confirming some of the dates. If you see anything that is wrong, please let me know.
