Point Isabel - Texas

In March, 1860, the Point Isabel Light Station gained the distinction of becoming one of the handful of known lighthouses on the Texas coast to have its own female keeper, Hannah Hain, who succeeded her husband in the post after his death.

The Civil War cut short Mrs. Hain's career at the Point Isabel Lighthouse, for along with all the other lights on the Texas coast, it dimmed shortly after Texas' secession from the Union in the spring of 1861.
