Joe’s mother lives nearby in Eatonville. She “prayed…nightly” for the failure of Joe and Missie May’s marriage. After she helps Missie May deliver a son, she tells Joe that she had never thought well of the marriage because Missie May’s mother had been promiscuous, and she feared the same would prove true of Missie May. However, she is proud of the baby, whom she says is the spitting image of Joe, and seems to revise her opinion of Missie May and the marriage.
