Biography: 

Addie tells Anse Bundren before they marry that "I have people. In Jefferson" - adding when he worries about what such "town folks" will think of him, that "They're in the cemetery" (171). This is all the novel says about her family, but it is one of the reasons for the Bundrens' trek to that same cemetery. Neither Addie nor her family appear elsewhere in the Yoknapatawpha fictions.
