	Seeing The Light - Charlevoix Pier Lighthouse
		By the mid 1800's, lumber was king in Michigan, and the Charlevoix area was graced with a seemingly endless supply of tall pine forests surrounding Round and Charlevoix lakes.
		With this change, the station was renamed ‘Charlevoix South Pierhead Light Station, and with two lights to keep on opposite sides of the harbor entry, Keeper Ripley found his workload more than doubled when he exhibited both lights for the first time on the night of April 14, 1914.
		Despite the additional workload, Ripley was evidently well suited to life at Charlevoix as he continued to serve as the single Charlevoix Keeper until November 15, 1923, when he retired after holding office at the station for a remarkable thirty-eight years.
