| Notes |
- Courted Hettie Lee Rogers * (1874-1964) for 25+ years but never married. She bought 3 trousseaus. She was a graduate of the Southern Female College in Petersburg along with Ora Sue Baird. Sam Pete used to cut across the field carrying a lantern going to Hettie Rogers house which was was at Laurel Rd and Rt. 40. She was quite well off and had a large plantation house.
Quote: in 1935 when the town of Waverly put in a sewer sytem, she refused to connect as she had no inside bath. Pat O'gery the town supervisor (he stuttered) told her it was the law and he could force her to. She told him "You can make me put one in, but you can't make me use it". She had electric lights and used lanterns.
Hettie is buried in the old section of Waverly Cemetary.
