Simon “Sam” Mason-Wood (d. 1950)
	
Sam Mason-Wood came to the Yukon in the 1920s. He drove a tracked vehicle on the Overland Trail between Whitehorse and Dawson for T.C. Richards’ mail, freight, and passenger service. He met Rose Turgeon in Mayo and they married and raised three children in the town. Over the years, Mason-Wood was Mayo’s mining recorder, liquor vendor, territorial agent, justice of the peace, and coroner.  After working for the government for about ten years, he began a trucking and wood business.((Linda E.T. MacDonald and Lynette R. Bleiler, //Gold & Galena.// Mayo Historical Society, 1990: 294.))
