St. Peter's Cemetery: Most of the Faulkner family is buried here, in separate locations.

7. The Falkner family plot:

J.W.T. and Sallie Murry Falkner (Faulkner’s grandparents), Murry C. and Maud Butler Falkner (his parents), his brother Dean, his infant daughter Alabama, and several other relatives.

8. John and Lucille (Dolly) Fa(u)lkner (Faulkner’s brother):

This gravestone is interesting because the family could not agree on a spelling of the last name. It is spelled "Falkner" on one side of the stone and "Faulkner" on the other.  View photo .

9. William Faulkner gravesite :

His wife Estelle and stepson Malcolm Franklin are also buried here under marble gravestones. The fourth gravesite in the plot, which hand long been vacant, has in recent years been filled by a smaller stone for "E.T.," who is described as "an old family friend who came home to rest with us." The identity of "E.T." is a carefully guarded secret; no one seems to know who "E.T." is, except for Faulkner’s nephew, Jimmy Faulkner. View photo .

Also buried in the cemetery is "Mammy" Caroline Barr, who died at the age of 100 in 1940 and was believed to be Faulkner’s model for Dilsey in The Sound and the Fury. View photo .
