Biography: 

Although he is not specifically mentioned, the jailer in the county sheriff's office in Hardwick can be inferred from the number of times the cells are locked and unlocked while Boon is there (270). The "jailor's wife," on the other hand, is mentioned, though not named (270). (According to the "Corrected Texts" that Noel Polk edited for Vintage International, Faulkner spelled "jailer" with an 'e' in "That Evening Sun," Intruder in the Dust and "An Error in Chemistry" but with an 'o' in "Monk," Requiem for a Nun and The Reivers. "Jailer" is more standard in American usage, so we use that spelling for all six CharacterKey entries, but preserve "jailor" in the individual Character entries for the second set of texts.)
