Inscription on back of old picture of John and Elizabeth Griner :
"Miss Bertha Griner This is my mother and father
Mrs Elizabeth Griner
Mr John George Griner
My mother is sixty four years of age and my father is about sixty eight ( my note: the eight is hard to read) years old when he died. He has been de ad about three years.
John G. Griner was born January 7, 1891 and
Elizabeth Griner was born August 5, 1835"

(my note: the following was added later in another handwriting)
"My Grandparents -- Ruth"
My note: Ruth is Ruth Johnson who gave me the picture.)
Letter from Mary Durant (descendant of John & Elizabeth Griner) dated 10/2 3/1980.
"... took a trip over to the county where you were born just to look for h eadstones dates. We looked through the cemetery there, and at Freeze, I d. we found the headstones of many of the Griners in both places.
... we found a common headstone at Freeze for John and Elizabeth, and evid ently several of their young children."
