Obituary -- John C. Robinson
John Clyde Robinson, 66, of Rainelle, WV, passed away April 1, 2019 surrounded by his family.
Born February 12, 1953, in Baltimore, MD, John was the son of the late Jessie Robinson and Audrey (Jett) Robinson. Married to his wife, Rebecca “LuAnn” Simms, on February 6, 1974, John was blessed with 45 years of loving commitment which flowered a thriving family of 2 daughters, 6 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild. As a loving family man, John was never out of touch with his children, his numerous grandchildren, his siblings, or his mother, with all of whom he went to great lengths to keep close contact.
As a worker, John is remembered as a US Coast Guard veteran. Additionally, he worked as a humble cabinet installer and worked his way to head the IT department of Signature Companies, based out of Haymarket, VA, until his retirement in March 2018, after 27 years of dedication.
Outside of work, John was a talented artist and musician in and of his own right. Music became a part of John’s life early on and he took it upon himself to teach himself guitar among other instruments, a skill with which he would carry on throughout his life. His family recalls the impossibility of walking through his home without stumbling upon at least one of the three things connected to that passion: a guitar, a guitar pick, or a harmonica.
John will be forever remembered for his love, for his service to his country, his work, and his family, and for his music, all of which will live on through his survivors.
John is survived by his mother, Audrey Robinson; his wife, ”LuAnn” Robinson; daughters, Sonja Raybuck and husband Justin, Dawn Robinson and partner Michael Dorsey; his sister, Cathy Myers; brothers, Charles Leggett, Michael Robinson, Timothy Robinson, Gary Robinson, and Shawn Robinson; grandchildren, Brandon, Austen, and Mariah Smith, Jayden Bertrand, and Zackery and Jakeb Raybuck; and great-grandchild, Lucas Ekman. | Robinson, John Clyde (I915)

Obituary -- Joseph S. Crane
Joseph's obituary, as read in the April 9, 1839 edition of the Baltimore Sun says simply, "Died, April 6, 1839."
Obituary -- Joseph S. Crane, Sr.
Died on Saturday last, Joseph S. Crane, aged 56 years, leaving a wife and several children to mourn their irreparable loss, and a large circle of friends and acquaintances, in whose memory he will long live. --
The writer of this notice knew him well, and can truly say he was an affectionate father, a tender husband and kind neighbor.
During the whole of his illness, which was a protracted one of some months, he exhibited a christian submission and entire resignation to the will of his Lord and Master; and he has parted with us with a full hope of a glorious resurrection and blissful immortality in Heaven, where
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
He has gone to that rest held in reservation for the people of God, where faith is lost in sight and hope in enjoyment. May I live the life of the righteous that my last end be like his. | Crane, Joseph S. (I34)

No more in this sad world of grief
Shall we behold thy dear kind face
But in that better world above
Where allis joy and peace and love
Dear Sister we will meet thee. | Sims, Lorena Edith (I8)
