Tina below is located some places you might check with to see if someone can search for the obit for you. I would volunteer to go to the library (and can at sometime in the future) but right now I am incapacitated with a badly sprained ankle on one leg and badly bruised leg on the other as I took a fall this weekend and can not drive at this point. If you do not have any luck with these places (I am not sure how much they are willing to help) I will when I get better go search the archives at the library just down the street and see if the local paper mentioned his death. Let me know what transpires please so I do not go and retrace what someone else has done. Unless his family put the obit in the local paper I think we are out of luck here but, you never know. Ok will watch for your return message so I know what to do. Phyl in VA Browning Genealogy database online. >Can someone check on an obituary for me in VA?

You are a sweetheart. I will try to keep you in mind if I can't get it elsewhere. Let me know when you are better. I'm sorry to hear of your spill. I hope you get better soon. I will keep you in my prayers for an expedient recovery.
