Biography: 

Vernon Tull's "three daughters" are in the wagon with him when they are caught on the bridge during the escape of the wild ponies (177). They are described as a unit: "all sitting in chairs in the wagon bed, and all asleep" until one of the ponies rides over them, then they are "womenfolks' legs and white drawers shining in the moonlight" (176). (Two of Vernon's daughters, Eula and Kate, appear as individual characters in As I Lay Dying.)
