Steele County Fair and Gordon Herring

A responder to one of my posts, on a genealogy message board, requesting obituaries or news articles regarding Gordon Herring's accident mentioned that it was likely during the Steele County Free Fair.

This same responder mentioned that he was probably taken to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota after his accident.

Greenlawn Cemetery, Springfield, Missouri

I have to say "Thank you" once again to Terri Mindock for responding so kindly to my request on an Ancestry.com message board for a snapshot of the markers of Sallie Alice Herring (Byers) and her daughter, Della Herring. All of the images in this post were taken by Terri.

The web/internet connects people from all over the world, allowing information to be located and retrieved much more easily. But in genealogy, it often requires volunteers who are willing to sacrifice there time and effort on the behalf of complete strangers. This is one such case.

Sallie and Della are buried in the Greenlawn Cemetery in Springfield, Missouri. The following picture is of the entrance sign to the cemetery.



In the picture below, Terri circled and labeled the markers to show the locations of the markers in relation to each other.



The following marker is Sallie's.



The following are two pictures of Della's marker.
