Personally I would consider this sentence a complex sentence as it contains more than one idea. The effect of this may be to draw attention to the relationship between 'the other two' and 'the departed'.

I would also consider the use of the dash to emphasis 'whoever he might have been' - why does the author draw the reader's attention to this?

I don't recall this quote from any texts I have studied but I would suggest that you could look at if there is any symbolism in the quote, in relation to the rest of the story (especially 'the departed'), and the meaning behind the deliberate imagery within 'covered their right ears with their hats'.

Sorry I couldn't give a more direct answer but I hope this helps a bit!!

thank you that is very helpful. sorry i should have said at the start, the quote is form "The Union Buries its dead"
