My name is Bob Allen and this MySpace Lighthouse site is dedicated to my great-grandfather, William Henry Follett, who was with the U.S. Lighthouse Service from 1904-1905 and 1912-1940.From 1904-1905 he was the 1st Assistant at the Hog Shoal Lighthouse located off of Rhode Island. He then served the private section until 1912 and at this time he decided to return to the Lighthouse Service. He was then assigned to the Montauk Point Lighthouse first as the 2nd Lighthouse Keeper and then became the 1st Assistant Lighthouse Keeper.From 1917-1934 he was the Lighthouse Keeper on the Cedar Island Lighthouse.He finished his lighthouse career as the Lighthouse Keeper on the Long Beach Bar Lighthouse from 1934-1940.The Cedar Island Lighthouse was his first Lighthouse Keeper assignment. The lighthouse now is on a peninsula which is located in the Cedar Point Park in East Hampton, Long Island, New York. This peninsula was created by the Hurricane of 1938. Before the Hurricane of 1938, the lighthouse was located on an one acre island.
