Picture of Grave Maker, Drumheller

Would like a picture or information that might be on the head stone of John Robinson.
The Drumheller Mail 1932 index has a John H. Robinson death date as Oct. 31, 1932, place of death Midland. Not sure if he is the right person I'm looking for. My dad said John Robinson died in Drumheller.
Would there be any more John Robinson's buried in Drumheller abt. 1930. Was told he died before his daughter's marriage Jan. 1932.

Thanks
Patricia

You should visit Find a Grave site, if you can find the cemetary there may be someone who will take a picture of the Gravemarker.

Hi, Do you have the Obituary for the John ROBINSON dcd
October 31 1932?
If an Obituary was published - *those were the depression years it may mention other family members etc.
Cemetery Office - May have record -of some personal information .
Because these were Depression years - there may not be a marker.
Cheers, Stella

Hi Stella,
I did find a newspaper article about John Herbert Robinson sudden death at his home in Newcastle Monday morning. It was in the Drumheller Review dated Thursday Nov. 3, 1932. States his age as 47, a fire boss at the Western Gem Coal Mine. A Dr. G.H. Whitmore was called but it was too late. His wife ( Jane, she was called Jenny ) having predeased him. ( Haven't found where she is buried yet). It says the remains were removed to Humphries Funeral Home and funeral arrangements were pending on the arrival of another daughter. (Isabell) The paper says he was living in Drumheller about 3 years.
His daughter Elizabeth was staying with him at the time.
