His tour of duty there was somewhere between 1900 to 1910 and he apparently lived within the confines of the station with his wife Rhoda (nee Titheridge) and their daughters. Try as hard as I may, I can't find any references to the station or it's history. I can't even find a local or county historical society to contact. I emailed the Coast Guard and was referred to another office - which never replied to my inquiry. I would appreciate ANY help or direction.
