Biography: 

He lives in a cabin "on the edge of town immediately behind" Hightower's house, and when his wife goes into labor he seeks help from Hightower (73). The narrative suggests that he is afraid to approach a white woman to ask for help: "Hightower knew that the man would walk all the way to town . . . instead of asking some white woman to telephone for him" (74).
