The second keeper at the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse for 35 years was Civil war veteran Captain William Duclon who lived there with his wife, Julia, and seven sons. She wanted to give her children a musical education and taught her sons how to play the Rosewood piano which William paid a month’s pay for it. The boys formed their own band and were favorite entertainers in the area. They would take the piano with them by removing the legs to get it out of the lighthouse.
