Biography:
Damuddy is the grandmother of the Compson children. Whether maternal or paternal is not specified, but Mrs. Compson's reaction to her death and Damuddy's association with Jason - until Damuddy got "sick," for example, Jason apparently slept in her bed with her (26) - suggest she is a Bascomb rather than a Compson. The day of her death, in the summer of 1898, is the earliest scene in Benjy and Quentin's memories.
