HERRING CEMETERY
District #6 on the James Walker farm on Trenton Road. Come in from back on Needmore road.
There are two old cedar trees but not one stone, only a couple of old field stones. Information from Miss Eddie Barnett states that her ancestors are buried there and that a Herring descendant came from Texas and found the stones broken and piled up on the cemetery.
We try to keep families grouped together. If someone's last name is listed, it means they have a separate headstone. If it is not listed, they are sharing a headstone with someone else. Sometimes
children are on the same headstone as parents.
Since we do not personally know these families, if we aren't sure of a relationship we list who they are buried next to. Any help matching folks with their relatives will be greatly appreciated.
The information is exactly as it appears on the stones. If you know the person's full name, please let us know.

HERRING Catherine
daughter of Benjamin and R.N.W. Herring
From Mr. Willie Herring, Waco, Texas:
"There were some 12 graves and the markers were piled in a heap in 1953, when I was there. I am of the opinion that Bright and Susan Herring and others are buried there. Bright gave this land to Susan at his death and it went to son Albert Herring at her death. Susan was 97 at her death in 1857. Bright was 73 in 1828 at his death".
