"ESTELLE OLDHAM FAULKNER'S GRAVESITE" at William Faulkner's gravesite The standard rite is to drink a swig of bourbon and leave the bottle as a gift. "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." ~ Reprinted text from here http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/~egjbp/faulkner/wfsites.html St. Peter's Cemetery is where most of the Faulkner family is buried here, in separate locations.

"COURTHOUSE SQUARE" Oxford, MS (photo taken 3/13/2013)
"FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OXFORD" 101 Courthouse Square Oxford, MS "J.W.T. Falkner founded the First National Bank in 1910 in the smaller building to the east. William Faulkner used it as the Sartoris Bank in two novels, Flags in the Dust (first published as Sartoris) and The Unvanquished. The building housed a funeral home, then a men's clothing store, and today is Duvall's, a women's clothing store. First National Bank is now located in the larger building next door." ~ Reprinted text from here: http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/~egjbp/faulkner/wfsites.html Official website is here: http://www.fnboxford.com/index.html
"WILLIAM FAULKNER" Marker Oxford City Hall Courthouse Square Oxford, MS No flash photography "The William Faulkner statue at the Oxford City Hall is in place and quite impressing. Mr. Faulkner is depicted on a bench much as he sat when he visited on the Square." ~ Reprinted text from here: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/5044 Also, I had no idea that........... "While the town, who didn't like him much when he was alive, wants to honor their native son, and attract tourists in the process, others object. The others mainly being Faulkner's relatives. "Oxford didn't appreciate him," said his nephew, "Chooky" Falkner (who uses the original spelling of the family name). "We're a private people. We don't like to be used," added nephew Jimmy Faulkner. Oxford Mayor John Leslie, a supporter of the statue, has said that Mississippi law requires no family approval for erecting a likeness of a dead person. "When a man dies," the mayor said, "he belongs to the ages." The town secretly removed a bicentennial magnolia tree to make room for the statue, which Mayor Leslie also defends. He planted the tree in 1976, he said, so he had a right to order it chopped down. Protesters have placed wreaths at the stump." ~ Reprinted text from here, too: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/news/5044
