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. | |

| This is the back corner of the cemetery, the far right corner as viewed from the road. There are indications of burials here but with no stones whatever. This area probably represents the earliest burials in this cemetery. You can see the old fence post and old fence wire underneath it. The wire is visible as dark brown horizontal lines across the green leaves, to the left of the downed fence post. | |

| Cemetery, as viewed from that same back corner. The road is just out of sight past the band of sunlight at the upper left of the photo. To get to the cemetery, we simply stopped on the road (no shoulder), scrambled down the embankment (shown as the band of sunlight), and climbed through the fence. | |
