It was here at Cat Island Lighthouse, near Gulfport, Mississippi, on June 25, 1904, that Daniel McCall died of a heart attack while sitting at his cherished Ben Butler writing desk. Elizabeth could not get anyone’s attention to come to her aid until the third day, and then, only by wading out in her long skirts in water up to her neck. Sadly, shortly after the Cat Island Lighthouse was deactivated in 1937, it was demolished. (National Archives)
