Photographs by John H. Yates
The lighthouse was closed for the season so no interior photographs were taken. Abram Yates was Sea Girt's light house keeper (1903-1910). He died in 1910 and his wife Harriet (Mills) Yates took over for a few months and applied for the job but did not get it. Abram Yates is the son of William C. Yates who was lighthouse keeper at Barnegat Lighthouse (1873-1875) and Cohansey Lighthouse (years?). (Map).
