Biography

Wavy, son of Walter Sulham & Louisa Pascal, was born on 11 January 1885 in Cabot, Caledonia, Vermont, United States.^[1]

In the 1900 census Wavey improperly written as Harvey, was 15 years old and appears to be living in the home of Marcus Rogers (1871-1902), Rogers-44031, in Bennington, Vermont working as a farm hand or servent worker. The relationship between the Rogers & Wavey is not clear. In 1902 Marcus's wife, described as being disturbed, Mary Bennett Rogers (1883-1995) Bennett-40132, was found responsible for murdering her husbad. She was the only woman hanged in Vermont. See Mary's profile for details. When Wavey left the Roger's house is unknown ^[2]
