    The Socialite Keeper by Clifford Gallant Emily Fish and her niece Juliet, from all evidence in their backgrounds, were un- likely candidates to join the ranks of the women who tended the lights. Having the advantage of education and social position, why did they become involved in work so lonely and foreign to their backgrounds? Trying to solve this enigma would call for the talents of a Sherlock Holmes. We do know that Emily A. Fish was born in 1843, in the insular village of Albion, Michigan. Her parents, John and Isabella Maitland, were British immigrants and the proprietors of a general store. Although Emily was not aware of it at the time, the marriage of her older sister Juliet to Melancthon Fish was to have a profound in- fluence on her life.

  • L58-HH August 13, 1968 Mr. Vernal L. Yadon
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE OFFICE OF ARCHEOLOGY AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION 801 19TH STREET, N. W. IN REPLY REFER TO: WASHINGTON, O. C. 20008 L58-HH August 13, 1968 Mr. Vernal L. Yadon Curator Museum of Natural History Forest and Central Avenues Pacific Grove, California 93950 Dear Mr. Yadon: I was most pleased to learn by a copy of Dr. John Hussey's letter to you of August 1 that something is being done to interpret the Point Pinos lighthouse. From Dr. Hussey's letter, I gather that what you need primarily at present is some idea of source material on the lighthouse. The main source of information on lighthouses is the National Archives, for here are the records, letters, journals, reports, etc. that concern this country's aids to navigation. Because of a fire in the Commerce Department in the 1920's many lighthouse records were destroyed or badly damaged; consequently, it is impossible to say what exists without actually going into the records and seeing what is there. For some lighthouses there is a copious quantity of information, for others the information is skimpy. The first material one should examine in the lighthouse records in the Archives is the Site File and the Clipping File for the individual lighthouse in which one is interested. The information in these files is not extensive, but it is basic. It can be xeroxed easily and at a small cost. Sometimes drawings exist and these can be photostated. If you have not already written to the National Archives, let me suggest that you hold off.
