Working as a lighthouse keeper was a difficult task. Although it might be considered a masculine job, the Key West Lighthouse employed three female principal keepers. Barbara Mabrity served for 30 years, from 1832 to 1862, Mary A. Carroll served in 1889, and Mary E. Bethel served from 1908 to 1914.
