Located near the town of Pitcher, Callaway County, Missouri Township 47N, Range 8W Herring family original land. This cemetery is fenced on a private farm. It is protected now from further damage, altho the stones are disentigrating from age and some stones are no longer there. There are at least 13 graves here that we have records for and are certain they were buried here. We did not find 13 readable headstones, however we were not able to do a thorough search of the area or dig for buried headstones. We did notice several burial depressions and natural stone markers and many broken pieces of headstones.
George W. Herring Sr. and wife Lucy Simco Herring were my great great grandparents.
This is not a complete listing of burials.
