Herring Private Cemetery #2
South of Fulton, Callaway County, Missouri - John Herring land
This cemetery is in very bad shape. It is right along the edge of a gravel road. There are no markers for this cemetery. It is very overgrown and very few of the stones are standing on their own, many are broken pieces.
