The narrator's grandfather is briefly mentioned, but his name is not identified nor is much else about him explained except that he lived in "the same country" and had "grown up" and "lived" in "almost the same manner" as his grandson (202). Presumably, the grandfather was a planter and, therefore, influential in the Yoknapatawpha County.
