Photo Caption:

Gleason W. Colbeth, is shown here (l) wearing the white summer dress hat and the uniform of the United States Lighthouse Service. The man with him on his right is believed to be John Olson, who was the head keeper at Isles of Shoals Lighthouse where this photograph was most likely taken. More information on Colbeth will be found in a new book, Lighthouses of the Sunrise County, due out sometime this summer. Photograph courtesy of Welton and Carol Colbeth.
