Lawrence Mood
Lawrence started guiding in 1915 in Birchdale. He guided for deer, and for fishing. He guided for bird hunting in Braemer and he guided with his brother in Dugas Lake, Digby County. Lawrence also had his own camp where he took hunting parties. Some of the people he guided came from New Jersey. They traveled to his camp by ox team. At one time there was a bounty on bear and Lawrence and his partner, Edwin Hamilton trapped and shot around one hundred bear over a period of time. During the war he operated a bus into Yarmouth to earn his living. He also sold firewood. He would bring the wood to town to sell and pick up groceries and deliver them on the way back from Ohio to Kempt. At the present time he is seventy-five years old.
