Answer: Miss Emily Grierson's funeral is attended by everyone in town. She was a relic of the Southern gentry and spent her life isolated from the community.
Emily's father prevented her from socializing when she was young. After his death, Emily became the frequent companion of a lower-class Northerner, Homer Barron. It was rumored that they were engaged.
Homer vanished. For the rest of Emily's life—over thirty years—she remained in her house.
Exploring Emily's house after her funeral, the townspeople find a man's skeleton in her bed. It is strongly implied to be Homer Barron's.
