Lighthouse keeper John Filmore Hudgins is shown here with his wife, the former Ellen Gertrude Thomas. She was known as “Mittie.” During his early youth, he had acquired land in his home community of Garden Creek, Virginia and built himself a house. When he was 23 years old, he married Mittie and the couple went on to have 12 children. (Photo courtesy Cindy Hudgins Brizzolara.)
