Biography

William Lawrence was one of Hugh French’s sources for his exhibit on the history of the Eastport, Maine. Born in 1889, Lawrence worked in the cannery as a young man, then in a local pharmacy and even studied to be pharmacist in Massachusetts but wasn’t able to finish due to health problems. French was not certain, but he thought Lawrence worked as a carpenter in Eastport after that.
