Biography: 

Watts doesn't appear in the novel as a character, but his name appears when Virgil Bearch tells Byron that the air rifle he covets is for sale at "Watts' hardware store" (108). So it seems safe to say that Watts owns Jefferson's hardware store - though in Faulkner's next novel, The Sound and the Fury, the store belongs to a man named Earl, and later texts it will belong to Ike McCaslin.
