JAMES EARL SELF LAID TO REST


Pallbearers are shown on Thursday, January 18, 2007 carrying a casket containing the body of James Earl Self to a gravesite. Approximately 100 mourners turned out on the frigid, rainy day to say good-bye to Self, 39, and Lucille Combs, 71, who perished in a house fire on January 14 in Riceville, TN. The two were buried side by side at Rogers Creek Baptist Church Cemetery in Athens, TN following a double funeral at the church.
