Frederick Brook Roberts born 1870, seen on the front left with the light sweater while working away at a lumber camp. Lumbermen and some brave ladies who were cooks at the camps would travel as far away as Nova Scotia and Maine to go to work. They went into the woods in the fall and worked all winter cutting and hauling the wood to the nearest river where they could jam the ice until the spring run off and thus send the logs down the river to be sawed at the mills such as Walkers Mill in Bass River. Then the workers would return home to the farm and begin the season of planting the fields and gathering firewood for the family, they also picked berries and made lots of pickles and smoked the fish!
