Albert Martin Horte worked delivering granite from a West Quincy quarry to the site of Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown, Ma. He got injured doing that, and so his brother-in-law got him a job that was less dangerous as an assistant lighthouse keeper of the Boston Light. Later he got transferred to Truro, Ma. On Cape Cod as the keeper of Highland Light.
