Obituaries
Please note: after posting obituaries since 2001, our database was running over. To handle those earlier obituaries we have created SWVA Roots.com as a place for geneaology researchers to find recent data. Please look there for any obituaries we’ve posted from June 2014 back. We will move obituaries to the new site at the end of every month.
