J.B. Stoner, known for his extreme racial views, died Saturday at age 81 at a Walker County nursing home.
There were private funeral services on Tuesday, and he was buried at Forest Hills Cemetery in St. Elmo.
The longtime Chattanooga Valley resident had spent his last few years at the nursing home.
He was in prison in Alabama for over three years for the June 1958 bombing of Bethel Baptist Church in Birmingham. No one was killed in the blast.
He had served as national chairman of the National States Rights Party, a white supremacist, anti-Semitic group.
