Fletcher - Hill Cemetery West of Fulton, Callaway County, Missouri | |
| This cemetery is actively being destroyed. The land owners allow livestock to wander freely and trample what is left of the stones. We found three readable headstones, and have records of four other known burials here. There are more burials, but no records remain. We could identify only three headstones, the other pictures show pieces of headstones and the condition of the cemetery as it was when we visited in 2005. | |
