Biography: 

MacGowan tells Jody to send Dewey Dell "upstairs to Alford's office" when she asks "to see the doctor that works" there (241). Alford is one of the two Jefferson doctors who appear in this novel and in the earlier Flags in the Dust. In that novel Alford and Peabody have offices next to each other, and share a receptionist though as doctors from different generations they share nothing else, but that does not seem to be the case in As I Lay Dying.
