Biography:
Simon Strother's wife and Elnora's mother. Until the end of the Civil War, she would have been a slave. Based on what the narrative says about (Old) Bayard as Elnora's "half-brother" (727), she presumably had a sexual relationship of some kind with Colonel John Sartoris - though there is no suggestion of this in Flags in the Dust, where Elnora's mother is named Euphrony.
