I had quite a challenge finding a newspaper death notice or obituary for John Randolph Grymes, a pharmacist from Orange, Virginia, who passed away 15 Feb 1944 at the Univ. of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville. I finally found one published in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, 18 Feb 1944. A PNG image of the obituary, with my annotations, is attached. I am posting it here, to help others who may be researching this particular family.

If anyone interested cannot view the PNG image, please reply through this message and I can post a PDF version of the image. Somehow, my photo software couldn't create the image as a JPEG.

His first wife, Roberta Virginia Garnhart (not "Garnhardt", as spelled in his newspaper obituary) was a distant relative in one of my family lines.

Mainly, I have been trying to determine where Roberta Virginia was interred. Both John Randolp Grymes and his 2nd wife, Fannie Stanard Grymes (maiden name: Bradbury) were interred at Graham Cemetery, Orange, Virginia. The death certificate I found for Roberta Virginia Grymes, d. 2 Apr 1917, Orange, Virginia states burial was to be in Orange, but no cemetery is named on the form.

Best wishes -
