Their mother has died (we find out later) and Atticus "was related by blood or marriage to nearly every family in the town."
Small for his age, Walter Cunningham is a shy and timid boy who apparently is riddled with hookworms. Scout is bigger than Walter even though he is nearly as old as Jem, and Scout has no problem "rubbing his nose in the dirt" in the schoolyard.
