Children of Vinal Beal (Alston, Velora, Virginia and Robena)
Description:
Photo of the children of lighthouse keeper Vinal Beal: Alston, Velora, Virginia and Robena Beal.
Photo is not dated. Janet Ellis says the photo was probably not taken on Mount Desert Rock -- there is grass in the picture. The children, she says, had only two outfits - one for school and one for play. Beal was second assistant (1909-1910), first assistant (1910-1911), then principal keeper (1911-c. 1918) of Mount Desert Rock lighthouse.
