Notes: The community of Midway once had a church, but it was torn down in favor of another church building in downtown Myakka City. The community of Midway no longer exists -- it's been gobbled up by the all-encompassing postal delivery name "Myakka City." What remains of this cemetery is listed below. It is on private property, within a fenced area. The headstones were moved in the 1980s approximately 300' from where they are now located. There are other funerary pieces scattered on the ground. The actual tombstone inscriptions are included below for their poignancy.  Name Dates Inscription Remarks Drymon, Tommie or Rommie 11/27/1883 - 9/30/1886 Thy Will Be Done; Asleep in Jesus, Blessed in Thought Hall, child 2/16/1903 - 8/16/1903 From Mother's Arms to the Arms of Jesus Baby dau. of Mr. and Mrs. J.H.
