Ellsworth's wife died soon after he took the position, and the keeper's daughter, Susan, kept house at the station. Susan was the youngest of 12 children. Three sons of Keeper Ellsworth fought in the Civil War, and all three returned safely. Benjamin Ellsworth would remain at the station until his death in 1902.
