Here's a semi realistic sketch/doodle of what I picture Claude's father looks like.

Claude's father, Roger Sylvester, was born in 1879. In December of 1896, he married a woman Named Jessica Bradshaw (Claude's mom).

When they got married, Roger was 20 and Jessica was 18. About nine months later, their son, Claude Sylvester, was born into the world.

In 1904, Roger had started to become very ill, and around October Roger died. Roger ended up dying from Pneumonia.
