Directions: (This small cemetery is south of SR 70 on private property.)
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.
