According to notes written by Alice's daughter, Amanda, Randolph accompanied Amanda to Kepner cemetery about 1939 to show her where he was to be buried. He pointed out the graves of his first two, and fourth, wives and two of his children and told Amanda that her mother and sister (his 3rd wife and daughter, Alice and Ella May Marie) were buried in LaDue, near Clinton. No markers have been found for his family in Kepner Cemetery, it is unlikely there ever were markers for Alice or daughter, Ella May Marie.
Interviews with family members/neighbors indicate that Randolph had a drinking problem and beat at least the first three wives, especially when they were pregnant, and it is thought he caused/contributed to all three of their deaths. (The Descendants of Exolhearth Page of Goochland County Virginia by Daniel F. Page, pg 207). In addition, my stepfather worked with a stepson of Alice (Charley), who talked often about Randolph's cruelty to his wives.
Anyone with information regarding Julia Alice, her burial location, or her parents and family, please submit via the suggestion link. Randolph and his family was very poor, it is unlikely she ever had a marker. Assumed to be buried with/beside her little daughter. Randolph's father and a sister lived in the Henry Co. poor farm for many years, the father until he died, the sister until it closed.
