Lock 44 locktender and family - Harvey Brant
Harvey Brandt tended Lock 44 at Williamsport from 1916 to 1924 when the canal closed. He and his wife continued to live in the lock house until 1961. He was paid $22.50 per month to tend lock twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and rented out canoes to tourists to subsidize his income (Craig Williams. "Canal lock tender remembers busy days". Morning Herald, 9-26-1985).
