In Faulkner's "A Rose For Emily," the narrator is unidentified, but he relates the story from the point of view of the townspeople. He begins his story:
When Miss Emily died, our whole town went to her funeral:...
So we know he is a person from the town, since he uses "our."
He tells us that Emily tried to keep her father's body in the home with her and did so for five days until she was somewhat forced to give it up. He tells us she was courted by an outsider named Homer. He tells us Emily bought rat poison. He tells us that Homer disappeared, and then he tells us that after Emily died a skeleton was found in an upstairs bedroom of her home, as was a hair that matched Emily's, on a pillow beside the skeleton.
He says many other things about Emily as well. If you're looking for something other than what I've written, feel free to email me and I'll try to help.
