Keeper Henry F.G. Bryant is at the left in the above photograph. Keeper Earl C. Harris is at the right.
Keeper Bryant faced compulsory retirement on July 31, 1940, as he turned 70.
Mr. Bryant abandoned the station (Cape Henlopen) and his duties on November 4, 1923, and returned November 5, 1923, for his personal effects. I recommend that his resignation be accepted effective at the close of Nov ember 4, 1923, but not without prejudice. Benjamin B. Dorry, Superintendet 4th Lighthouse District.
