Unnamed Woman in Frenchman's Bend 1

In Intruder in the Dust this woman started a feud over a "church bazaar" baking prize with "another lady" in Frenchman's Bend (227). When she reported that the other woman's husband was making and selling whiskey, Sheriff Hampton had to intervene. As these details suggest, the narrative uses the title "Frenchman's Bend lady" sarcastically (227).

Unnamed Football Player

In Intruder in the Dust Chick gets to play in a varsity football game in Mottstown when this "regular player" cannot (121). He may not be able to play due to injury, or academic ineligibility, or an over-protective mother - the narrator offers all three possibilities.

Unnamed Father of Joe

The father of the "boy" who goes rabbit hunting with Chick and Aleck in Intruder in the Dust is "one of Edmonds' tenants," i.e. a share cropper on the Edmonds plantation (4).

Unnamed Father of Jake Montgomery

According to Sheriff Hampton in Intruder in the Dust, Jake Montgomery's "pa" owns a "farm over beyond Glasgow" (113).

Unnamed District Judge

There is a judge named Maycox mentioned in Intruder in the Dust, but Maycox lives in Jefferson. This unnamed judge, whom Gavin Stevens tells Lucas is the one who will preside over his murder trial, doesn't "live within fifty miles of Yoknapatawpha" (63). Presumably like the District Attorney who Gavin says will prosecute the case, this judge works out of the larger Mississippi town or city that the novel calls Harrisburg, and travels to smaller places like Jefferson for regular court sessions.

Unnamed Daughter of Mrs. Mallison's Roommate

Intruder in the Dust mentions this young woman who, as both Chick's mother and her own once did, attends college at Sweetbriar, in Virginia.

Unnamed Cotton Gin Worker

The first small mob that spills into the Square on Sunday morning in Intruder in the Dust includes several of the young men whom Chick saw and heard in the barbershop earlier that day, including this "oiler from the cotton gin" (42).

Unnamed Consignee

In Intruder in the Dust the person who intends to buy the lumber that the Gowries are harvesting - "the lumber's ultimate consignee," as Gavin Stevens puts it (223) - lives in Memphis.

Unnamed Counterman 2

"The counterman" at Jefferson's all-night cafe is mentioned only briefly in Intruder in the Dust, and neither named nor described (207). Because Faulkner makes no mention of his race, we assume he is white.

Unnamed Ancestors of Chick Mallison

In Intruder in the Dust the hills in the Beat Four section of the county remind Chick Mallison that his ancestors came to Yoknapatawpha from Scotland by way of Carolina. If Chick is thinking specifically of his maternal ancestors, these people would belong on the Stevens family tree. But he could instead (or also) be thinking of his Mallison ancestors.
