Terry from February 11, 1916 to November 2, 1922, when he also retired with thirty years of service. His successor George S. Wyant remained at the Station until June 2, 1924. The Station was listed as "discontinued as an active unit" from 1922 forward and no Keeper was assigned after George W. Wyant departed until C. E. Conklin arrived on August 26, 1929 from his assignment as Assistant to the Fourth District Commander. Even though the Station was carried as discontinued,he remained here until his reassignment to the Rockaway Point Station on June 26, 1933. Next, Chief Petty Officer W. Leach was reassigned from the Lone Hill Station in 1935, followed by Chief Petty Officer G. Anderson in 1936.
