Biography: 

While telling Judge Allison whom he might expect to meet in other parts of Beyond, Mothershed mentions "the one that wrote the little women books. If he ain't there, he ought to be" (788). The book title 'Little Women' was of course not written by a man, and the story doesn't give any further information about the person Mothershed is thinking of. One possibility is Edward Stratemeyer (1863-1930), who wrote books under pseudonyms for boys as well as girls, but there's no way to say if Faulkner is even thinking about an actual children's book author. Because Mothershed says he is in Beyond, however, he is a character in the story, regardless of his existence anywhere else.
