12345. (document) Lighthouse Keeper Pay Voucher Form No. 5, Keeper Hiram J. Grant, Fort Point Lighthouse, Maine 1869. This is a very scarce original document from the Fort Point Lighthouse at the entrance to Penobscot Bay near Stockton, Maine. It is a pay voucher for Hiram Grant who served as keeper from 1866 to 1882. This original document was filled out by Grant and signed by him. He was a Civil War veteran. The first light was built in the 1830s but the present light, and the one Hiram Grant was keeper at the date of this document, was built in 1857. The Fort Point light is one of the few still active and still using the original Fresnel lens. Original pay voucher is signed in hand by Keeper Grant, receiving the amount of $115 in pay for the three month period ending December 31, 1869. Document measures 6 ½” x 8 ¼” and is overall clean with one original fold. Superb piece of this well known light station, would make an exceptional addition to any collection or display. (VG+). $75.
