In the 1930 census, Willis is living with son Obie and family in Fulton.
His address at time of death was R. #6, Fulton, Missouri. His son Obie Herring signed his death certificate.
His headstone no longer exists in Herring cemetery, however I was given Oct. 12, 1932 as date of death, his death certificate was dated Oct. 11, 1932. The date of burial on death certificate was Oct. 12, 1932, in Herring cemetery. I am using Oct. 11, 1932 as date of death because I don't see how the death certificate could have been made out before he died, which would be the case if he died on Oct. 12, 1932.
From the History of Callaway County Missouri, 1884, page 664-665
WILLIS D. HERRING, a worthy young farmer and well respected citizen of Fulton township, was one of a family of ten children, five sons and five daughters, nine of whom are still living, of George Herring and wife, formerly a Miss Lucy Simco, both parents originally of Virginia. They came to Callaway county in 1835, where they bought a farm and moved their family. The father died on the 23d of July, 1876, but the mother still survives and makes her home with her son, the subject of this sketch. Willis D. was born in this county on the 10th of May, 1857, and was reared here on his father's farm. Farming has been his constant occupation from boyhood, and he now has a farm of 160 acres substantially and comfortably improved, which he cultivates in an energetic, business-like and successful manner. On the 9th of June, 1881, Mr. Herring was married to Miss Emma Gibony, of this county. They have one child, born May 17, 1882. Mrs. Herring, his mother is a member of the Christian church, at Ham's Prairie.
