Harry F. House was a Second Assistant Lighthouse Keeper at Crisp Point Light in 1915. He started his US Lighthouse Service career at the Whitefish Point Light Station and later served at Manitou Island light and on the Poe Reef lightship in Lake Huron, before returning to Whitefish Point to serve as light keeper about two years prior to his death. Unfortunately we are unsure of the exact dates of his service.

According to Harry's death certificate, he passed away on January 17, 1935 due to tuberculosis at the U.S. Marine Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. Funeral services were held at the Vanderhook Funeral Parlor in Detroit.
He was laid to rest in the Whitefish Point Cemetary.
