Unnamed Wife of College Instructor

In The Hamlet Hoake McCarron is involved in a scandal with this wife of a "minor instructor" at the agricultural college he attends (151).

Unnamed Residents at Mrs. Littlejohn's

These women and (mostly) men stay at Mrs. Littlejohn's "hotel" in The Hamlet. In the Ike Snopes' narrative, Faulkner refers to them as "last night's new drummer-faces" - i.e. traveling salesmen who are staying for one night (182). While they can be classified as a group, these individuals are constantly coming and going, staying in Frenchman's Bend for variable amounts of time. Typically only men stay in Yoknapatawpha boarding houses, but in this case we know that Mrs. Armstid stays at Littlejohn's while her husband recovers.

Unnamed Negro Hostler 3

In The Mansion Mink remembers that when he was younger there was a Negro in "the lot behind the Commercial Hotel" who would feed his mule for a quarter while he took the train to Memphis (313).

Unnamed Negro Hostler 2

In The Town this man is hired by I.O. Snopes to lead the newly arrived mules from the depot to the lot near Mrs Hait's home.

Unnamed Negro Hostler 1

In The Hamlet this hostler finds the rented horse and buggy that the drummer who was courting Eula abandoned when he fled Yoknapatawpha.

Unnamed Good Samaritan

This is the "doctor or officer" - Labove, who witnesses the event in The Hamlet, "does not know" which - who attends to a dying Negro who has been shot at on "a bleak station platform" at an unnamed location (138).

Unnamed Girlfriends of Eula Varner

In The Hamlet Eula associates with a small group of Frenchman's Bend girls who act as foils for her.

Unnamed Galveston Brothel Madam

This is the woman whom The Hamlet refers to as the "curl-papered landlady" in El Paso who tries to prevent Jack Houston from taking the woman who becomes his common law wife away from her house - but since the woman is a prostitute and the place the landlady runs is a brothel, it seems clear that "landlady" is a euphemism for 'madam' (234).

Unnamed Frenchman's Bend Family

In The Hamlet Flem boards with this family, who live "about a mile from the store," after securing his position at Varner's (64).

Unnamed Former Acquaintances of Houston

After Houston returns to Yoknapatawpha in The Hamlet, he sometimes meets the "contemporaries" who remember him from the "youth" they shared, with whom he still occasionally gets together for "drinks or cards" (237).
