Information on several of the graves is no longer readable.

This listing is current through 1999. The church has a copy of this information. Any corrections would be appreciated. Please send them to Judith Fowler, 2535 Judge Logue Road, Newton, Alabama 36352.

There are a large number of unmarked graves in the cemetery. Anyone who has a loved one buried in one of these unmarked graves is asked to consider placing marker on it.

Anyone who has a loved one buried here is asked to please consider making a donation to the cemetery fund. Donations can be sent to Winslette Chapel Cemetery Fund, 296 Judge Logue Road, Newton, Alabama 36352.

The church also seeks information on the history of the church and cemetery, as well as identification of the unmarked graves. Information can be sent to the church at the above address.

POISONING DEATH

OF MIDLAND CITY

MATRON STUDIED

Mrs. Myrtie Mae York

Discovered By Emptied Phial Of

Fluid Nearby

MIDLAND CITY, November 25 (Special) – The victim of poison, Mrs. Myrtie Mae York, 29, was found sprawled on the kitchen floor of her home near here Saturday afternoon by Mrs. Lonnie Edwards, a neighbor, who had been summoned by Mrs. York’s six-year-old daughter, Carolyn.

The child told Mrs. Edwards her mother was "sick" and had taken some medicine and was alone at the house, her father having gone to Columbus, Georgia, to attend the Auburn-Georgia football game. Within 15 minutes after Mrs. Edwards reached her, the young farm matron was dead.

In the absence of Kenneth Holman, Dale County coroner in a Dothan hospital recovering from an operation, local physicians and Sheriff J. W. Helms made an investigation, the sheriff announcing they had not yet returned a report.

The investigation was slowed, Sheriff Helms said, because of the lack of evidence and witnesses, Mrs. York being alone at the time except for her daughter. An empty medicine bottle was found near her, containing only a few drops of an unidentified liquid.

Mrs. York is survived by her husband, Grady York; a son, Grady Donald York; a daughter, Carolyn; two sisters, Mrs. N. H. Rountree, Pinckard and Mrs. Wiley Thomley, Valdosta, Georgia; a brother, Willie E. Warren, Geneva; and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Warren, Geneva.

Funeral was held at 2 p.m. Sunday at Piney Grove Church with Mrs. Martha L. Joiner of Abbeville officiating. Burial was in the church cemetery with Houston Funeral Company in charge.
