I'LL BE AWAY FOR AWHILE

Beginning April 23, 2009, I will be away from the computer for two weeks. We are going to visit the in-laws. I will be back (hopefully) and try to get some posts put on this site after May 8. Thanks for your patience.

SARA SELF AND TWO CHILDREN

This is a picture of Sarah Self, wife of Onie Self, and two of her children, Pauline and Gene Self. Pauline was born September 5, 1943 and Gene was born February 22, 1945. I figure this picture was made around 1947.

J.R. SHERMAN AND LILLIE PLASTER SELF PICTURE

J.R. Sherman Self died on July 26, 1934. This helps us to date this picture.

A SELF FAMILY PICTURE

This picture was given to me by the late Berlin Self. Left to right is Sara Self, holding her son, William (Bill) Self. Bill was born August 12, 1935, so this helps us to date this picture. Next to Sara is her husband, Onie Self and his mother, Lillie Self, wife of J.R. Sherman Self. Dessie Self is next and then Burt Self is on the end. Dessie and Burt are two more children of Lillie Self.
