Spotlight On...
WILLIAM LAMBERT SELF
	We are pleased to put the Spotlight this week on one of Scott 
County's pioneers. We would like to introduce to our readers Mr. William 
Lambert Self.
	Mr. Self was born and raised in Scott County and has lived his 82 
years in and around Waldron. He was born in 1885 in the Greenridge 
community to Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Self.
	He is one of six children of which four are still living. Two 
brothers, Arvil, who lives east of Waldron and Doc, who lives in 
Springfield, Missouri. One sister, Mrs. Eloise Holladay of Escondido, 
California.
	Mr. Self and Mary House were married at Greenridge in 1911. They 
raised six children: Madge Barnett, Wayford, Waymon and Isabelle Heath of 
Waldron; Winfred of Santa Cruz, California, and Beatrice Ham of Brementon,
N.Y.
	Mr. Self worked at timber and sawmill work all his life. To quote 
him, "he has cut more timber with little mills than any man living his 
age."
	He is still able to come to town every day in spite of one 
artificial foot.
