Lights Have Burned for 112 Years. 
One hundred and twelve years ago 
Monday night the lights on Baker’s Isl- 
and were lighted for the first time. The 
first lighthouse was a long, wooden 
structure, the keeper's residence being 
in the centre, and the lights at either end. 
It was raised September 16, 1797, and 
the lights were shown January 3, 1798. 
In 1816 the double lights were discon- 
tinued for some reason, and but one was 
shown. This arrangement continued 
until 1820, much dissatisfation being ex- 
pressed meanwhile. Asa result of joint 
action by the Salem Marine society and 
the town of Marblehead, new light- 
houses were erected, double lights were 
restored October 18, 1820, and they 
have continued until the present time. 
I have just put in a stock of mail boxes 
and letter plates. D. T. Beaton. adv.
