SE-01. [photos] Light-House Keeper Photos Michigan City Lighthouse 1910. Michigan City Lighthouse, Indiana c.1910. Set of two photographs taken by 2nd Assistant Light Keeper Fred Dykeman show the keeper’s dwelling and the keepers digging a utility trench to the dwelling. The larger photo measures 5″ x 7″ and shows family members posed in front of the 1858 dwelling in good detail. On the left is 1st Assistant Keeper Thomas Martin and his wife Lottie. On the right is Anna, the wife of 2nd Assistant Keeper Dykeman. The photo was taken by 2nd Assistant Keeper Dykeman. Second photo is on postcard paper, 3 ” x 5 “, and shows the two keepers and other workers digging a utility trench for a drain from the south side of the building. Keeper Dykeman is on the far right with the shovel and Keeper Thomas Armstrong stands next to him. The back of the card is written to “John” by Keeper Dykeman and signed “Fred Dykenam, 2nd Assistant Light Keeper”. Card is postmarked 1910 and in his massage he mentions their tasks of cutting wood, and that tomorrow they will be pulling the station boat up out of the water. Dykeman was keeper here from 1909 until 1915. There are a few light creases to larger photo but both are quite clean, clean and crisp. This is a superb documentary of the family and life at this Indiana light station. (VG). $125.
