Twice referred to as "the oldest Negro" on the hunting expedition (273, 275), Isham attends to the needs of the white hunters in the camp, and takes particular care of Ike McCaslin, both physically by preparing his bed and emotionally by "warning" him about the young woman who visits the camp (277).
