Mottstown|Mottson in The Hamlet (Location)

Mottstown is the seat of the county immediately south of Yoknapatawpha, and it appears frequently in the fictions. In this novel it is where Will Varner meets his daughter Eula and her infant upon their return from Texas. How Eula got as far as Mottstown is not made explicit, but it's likely that she traveled by train. The railroad that runs through Mottstown in other texts also travels to Jefferson, but presumably the railroad station in Mottstown is closer or handier to Varner and Frenchman's Bend than the one in Jefferson.
