Biography:
This man - presumably the father of Ab Snopes - makes an oblique appearance in the novel when Mink answers the warden's question about his connection to "Linda Snopes Kohl" with an oblique reference to his connection to Flem: "His and my grandpaw had two sets of chillen" (114). This implies that this grandfather was married at least twice, but nothing else about him is said, either in The Mansion or elsewhere.
