Kate Moore (1795—1900) was an American lighthouse keeper noted for the longevity of her tenure. The daughter of Stephen Moore, keeper of the Fayerweather Island Light in Connecticut since 1817, she gradually took over his duties as he became ill; she was not formally appointed keeper, however, until after his death in 1871.
She kept a garden at the station, and tended oyster beds; she also carved and sold duck decoys. Moore kept a library, and had a collection of original paintings at the station, including one by Peter Paul Rubens. She entertained many visitors to the island, at one point numbering over a thousand in one year. During her time at Fayerweather Island she saved 21 lives; she once said that she wished she could have saved double that number.
Kate retired in December of 1878. She is listed in the 1898 Bridgeport City Directory as “Miss Kate Moore.” Her life remained mysterious till the end: She has been reported as having lived until the age of 85, 93, and even 105. The burial records of Mountain Grove Cemetery in Bridgeport where Kate is interred say that she died in 1899 but gave her age as 85. She lies in an unmarked grave.

Death danced at my party.
I didn't invite him,
But everyone wanted to know who he was.
I lied that he once gave me lessons on Spanish guitar.
And sure, he was charming
And didn't he dance well--
Friend Jessica tells me he flirted with style.
Well, shouldn't he know, after all, how to make a girl smile?
But where are the roses and lilies I ordered?
And let's have champagne for my guests.
The trees all have lanterns alight in their branches,
The staff are impeccably dressed,
So why is Death here?
He can't make me go with him, the party's not over for hours.
Death danced at my party,
I didn't invite him
But he was the centre of all that went on,
And I didn't notice 'til then that the music had gone.
So where are the cellos and violins? Where is the
Sensual saxophone man?
And who was that gallant in white tux and ponytail
Down where the apple trees stand?
And why is Death here?
He can't make me go with him, I haven't danced once yet tonight.
Death danced at my party.
I didn't invite him,
But, leaving, they all said the party was fine,
'Til no one was left but the two of us, his fate, and mine.
So where has my courage gone, now that it matters?
And where are my questions and pleas?
He holds out his hand with a smile I could kiss
And a path opens out through the trees.
He says "The river's not far--Senorita."
And I think I'll go with him,
