Whittington Allen Cemetery
South of Fulton, Callaway County, Missouri
This cemetery is fenced and mowed. However, the owner has a habit of stacking and moving the broken stones in order to mow. We found several in pieces in a pile. Joseph Allen, my great great great grandfather is buried here, but his stone is gone.
