RINER'S GRAVEYARD, Berkeley County, WV Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives December 26, 2001 by Audrey McGlynn ~~~~ Riner's Graveyard is located on Oak Grove Road in Jones Springs, Berkeley County, West Virginia. Most markers had no inscriptions. Grave markers with inscriptions are listed here. This listing was completed on 2 August, 2001. Blanks indicate areas of a marker I was unable to read from photos I took. This does not necessarily mean that the stone was illegible, but that my photo was. According to "Cemeteries of Martinsburg and Berkeley County West Virginia" by the Berkeley County Historical Society, there are also markers for Archibald Deeds, George Statton Harner and James H. Harner, however, I must have missed them. ~~~~ BAYER - NANCY, / Wife of / WM BAYER / Died May 9, 1894 / Aged 58 yrs.
