Who the heck Narrated this??! haha

In the story "A Rose for Emily" I wont lie to you I was kinda confused maybe because I dont always get into the stories I read. I dont know. But this was a interesting story between her controlling father and the towns people trying to protect this lady from what they pretty much have suspisions about by saying "oh a rat or something must have died thats what the smell is"- paraphrasing of course. But to the point who the heck is narrating this story. I read it a few times and ive come to believe it must have been some person in town. The way the story is told is pretty good, its wierd because I mean the lady slept in a bed with a dead guy haha thats crazy. I know I wouldnt ever sleep in a bed with a dead lady thats for sure the smell would get to me. But as ive said I said I believe some person in town probably is telling the story passing it on kinda like a folk story or something but thats just my thoughts im not really sure.
