Mind the Light Katie

$12.95
|
|
by Mary Louise Clifford and J. Candace Clifford. In 1890 Kate Walker was 44 years old when her son Jacob rowed his stepfather, John Walker, ill with pneumonia, to Staten Island for medical treatment. John's last words to his wifer were, "Mind the light, Katie." John, official keeper of the Robbins Reef Lighthouse, never returned. When he died ten days later, a substitute was sent to permit Kate to arrange for his burial and attend his funeral. She was back on the job before the day ended. Although she was paid only a laborer's wage, Kate faithfully minded the light until she finally received the keeper's appointment in 1894. Her only communication with the mainland was by rowboat or through the periodic calls of the lighthouse tender bringing supplies. Assisted by her son Jacob, Kate kept the Robbins Reef Light until 1919. Kate was one of only 144 women who received official lighthouse keeper appointments between 1830 and 1947, when the last female keeper retired. Kate and 32 others who have left records of their lives are included in this book. # 99933

The story of Ida Lewis, Famous Lighthouse Heroine - With mixed emotions, fifteen year old Ida Lewis said good-bye to the little house on Spring Street on a sunny June day in 1857. Though her new home would still be in Newport, Rhode Island, it sat on a tiny outcropping of rocks out in the harbor, completely surrounded by water. Ida's father, Captain Hosea Lewis, was the keeper of the Lime Rock Light. The new lighthouse was big enough for the entire family of six. Then just four months later, tragedy struck. Captain Lewis was no longer able to man the lighthouse. Responsibility for keeping the lifesaving beacon aglow soon fell on Ida's young shoulders. It was an awesome task, but she was determined to do a good job. She knew sailors would be depending on her for their safety. As time went on, plenty more people would have petite, amazing Ida Lewis to thank for their lives. # 99930
