2 4 THE COURIER-JOURNAL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1986 7 I' OO FUNERAL HOME What should I tell my children when they ask about burial or cremation? It is best to emphasize the natural phenomenon. In nature all things grow, die and deteriorate. When natural objects deteriorate they simply return to their natural elements. The cycle of life is such that death has long been summarized in the statement 'ashes to ashes, dust to Cremation differs from burial through the use of fire which speeds up the process of deterioration. Burial in the ground has the same result, it simply takes a longer time.

Children may understand a comparison which describes a campfire or the slower deterioration of a log in a forest. 15 1 0 oo 13S5 Ellison Ave. 451-8440 Since 1965 7 Photo by Bill Luttt Photo by Bin Stan A fire that killed a Spencer County, man and two of his children also destroyed the family's home yesterday morning. 4 Father, two children die in fire in Kentucky invites you to the Spring and Summer Showing of the Java Wraps Resort Collection. Cool, Colorful, James, a ninth-grader, "always had a smile he had a little spunk about him, something a little extra," Huggins said.

He described Donna Jean as "just a typical eighth-grade, teen-age girl. She had a lot of friends." Robert Chesser was a part-time farmer, carpenter and auto mechanic who had been working at the farm of Robert Yates in Spencer County In recent weeks. Yates said Chesser came to him in January and asked if he could work for him until spring. Chesser had been doing some carpentry work with a firm in Shelbyville, but was laid off for the winter months, Yates said. "It's a pitiful situation," he said, adding that he "thought a lot of" Chesser.

Funeral arrangements are incomplete, but will be handled by Lutz-Snider Funeral Home. Volunteer Fire Department received the alarm at 7 a.m., but the house was "already down" when firefighters arrived with two pumpers and a tanker 20 minutes later, Capt. David Campbell said. Two other family members were away from home at the time of the fire, Lutz said. Chesser's wife, Donna, had left earlier in the morning to take a friend to a hospital in Louisville, and their 18-year-old son, Bobby, had spent the night with another sister who is married, Lutz said.

James Huggins, principal of Spencer County High School, said Bobby "walked into school this morning and didn't know about it." The school, which has about 600 students in grades 7 through 12, was shocked by the deaths, Huggins said. "There's been a lot of crying and a lot of hugging," he said. "We're working our way through it." cottons. Batik prints. Shorts, short sets, beach pants, dresses.

When he tried to take the burning container outside, the fire spread throughout the kitchen, they said. State Trooper Glenn Walton of the Frankfort post said 12-year-old Den-ise told them her brother panicked when the jug caught fire. Fire officials have been unable to determine whether the container was filled with gasoline or kerosene, but they said there were no signs of an explosion. They said the kitchen was in the wooden portion of the house, which was located in a somewhat isolated part of the county on the unpaved John Henry Road. Lutz said Donna Jean apparently was in the bathroom getting ready for school when the fire started.

Her father was trying to get her out of the bathroom when he told Denise to run to a neighbor's house and call the fire department, Lutz said. James stayed in the house to help, while Denise ran to the home of Larry Tackett, Lutz said. The Taylorsvllle-Spencer County By STEVE MASSEY Staff Wrltor TAYLORSVILLE, Ky. A Spencer County man and two of his four children still living at home died yesterday morning after a fire engulfed their home about 6y2 miles northeast of Taylorsville. The bodies of Robert L.

Chesser, 37, James, 15, and Donna Jean, 14, were found huddled in the bathroom of their combination one-story frame and mobile home when firefighters arrived, officials said. The three apparently died of smoke inhalation, but an official cause of death won't be available until Humana Hospital-University in Louisville completes autopsies. Spencer County Coroner Roy Lutz said. The fire began shortly before 7 a.m. when a plastic container containing a flammable liquid apparently caught fire, officials said.

James was using the liquid to light the homemade wood-burning stove in the living room when it apparently caught fire, they said. 1 1. -i diLii ujy uniy, reu J.J.. Special orders taken. j5 If Informal Modeling Refreshments.

Manion will be nominated by President Reagan to be a judge on the 7th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals, the White House announced yesterday. Manion must be confirmed by the Senate. The 7th Circuit Court, based in Chicago, reviews decisions handed down by U.S. District Courts in Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. Manion, 43, is a 1964 graduate of the University of Notre Dame.

He obtained a degree from the Indiana University School of Law in 1973, majority shareholder in the store, said it hurts to go out of business. "I don't think there's any store around that still carries cotton gingham dresses for women," said Marcum, whose father bought the store in 1937. Marcum said the depressed farm economy was the main reason he decided to close the store. "If the farmer doesn't make it, we don't," he said. "They're the ones who butter our bread."
