Biography:

Mrs. Compson is the wife of General Compson (and so one of the grandmothers of Quentin, Caddy, Jason and Benjy in The Sound and the Fury). In this story she helps arrange for Granny's funeral by inviting a big preacher from Memphis to officiate and then invites Bayard and Ringo to "come home and live with her" until Bayard's father returns from the war (98).
