There is a huge modern facility called the Piedmont Geriatric Hospital
visible from route 360 in Nottoway.  There has been some reports in the news
lately that the state is considering closing it.  I don't know anything
about it --- I just pass it when I drive to Richmond.  Here's their website
address:

It's been my experience that some facilities like this archive their old
records, so you might get lucky if you contact the right person.

Good luck!
