Daily Event for January 16



For thirty years the Long Island Railroad made a stop at "Fannie Bartlett", a flag stop on the line. There was
however no town named Fannie Bartlett, it was only a nameplate mounted on the pole. The nameplate came
from the schooner Fannie J Bartlett which was wrecked on Napeague, NY on Jan. 16, 1894. Who mounted
the nameplate and why is not known.
