Biography:
The mother-in-law of Colonel John Sartoris and one of Faulkner's legendary strong women, Rosa Millard appears in this novel as part of Ab Snopes' biography. Her death during the Civil War at the hands of an outlaw "who calls his self Major Grumby" is a result of her "horse- and mule-partnership" with Ab (32)- a story that is told fully in The Unvanquished.
Note:
"Plurella Harris" is an alias devised by Ringo for Granny in her dealings with Yankees.
CUT: In <em>The Hamlet</em>, she serves as one of the characters of Ratliff's storytelling.
