\nFrom volume 1, page 217 \u2013 WCCL
\n\u201cSLAGLE<\/strong> \u2013 3-1\/4 mi S. of Johnson City.\u00a0 Established by David Slagle.\u00a0 This is a small public cemetery.\u00a0 It is now used by the Slagle family but was formerly used by the Lyles as a burying ground.\u00a0 (This could be the Slagle-Huffine cemetery; however, there are no Lyle graves marked if it is the same one)\u201d
\nLOCATION<\/strong> \u2013 The David Slagle burial ground noted in this WCCL is not the Huffine-Slagle burial ground where David Slagle is actually buried.\u00a0 The David Slagle burial ground is more commonly known as the Young-Lyle-Strickland<\/a> burial ground.\u00a0 Please refer to that listing for further information.\u00a0 A few death certificates were found for known interreds at Y-L-S and the place of burial was listed as \u201cSlagle\u201d.\u00a0 Those burials occurred during the time David Slagle owned the subject property and were prior to the WPA survey in the 1930\u2019s.
\nThis burial ground was active prior to the Civil War (1830\u2019s and 1840\u2019s), then a few known burials just after the Civil War, and then not again until after 1910, when David Slagle owned the property.\u00a0 It had been inactive for many years, so it could be considered re-established by David Slagle.
\nIt is unknown why David Slagle and his wife were buried at the Huffine-Slagle graveyard, as opposed to the burial ground on their farm.\u00a0 Both the Huffine-Slagle and the David Slagle\/Y-L-S graveyards are essentially within eyesight from the David Slagle house and are about 1500 feet apart.
\nDEEDS<\/strong> \u2013 An abbreviated deed chronology.\u00a0 These transactions were for parcels more acreage than just the burial ground, however each did surround the burial ground.
\nDeed Book 33, Page 276 (1852) \u2013 John Lyle to Absolum Scott.
\nDeed Book 65, Page 46 (1892) \u2013 Absolum Scott estate heirs to Mary E. Scott Slagle (Mrs. David Slagle).
\nDeed Book 165, Page 168 (1924) \u2013 Mary E. Scott Slagle (widow of David Slagle) to Ernest A. Slagle (her son).
\nDeed Book 332, Page 635 (1960) \u2013 Harry T. Slagle (son of Ernest) to Charles David Slagle (son of Harry).\u00a0 This deed specifies conveyance by will from Ernest to Harry \u2013 a copy of the will was not retrieved.\u00a0 Also, in this conveyance, Harry retained a life estate.
\nDeed Book 585, Page 436 (1983) \u2013 Charles David Slagle relinquishes his interest back to his father, Harry.\u00a0 After Harry\u2019s death, and through a series of estate settlement procedures, the entire Harry Thurman Slagle property was divided into several parcels during a 2009 survey.\u00a0 The parcel containing this burial ground was conveyed to the Lone Oak Christian Church and the deed recorded at Roll 684, Image 1881.\u00a0 The specific metes & bounds of the burial ground were called out for the first time within the deed trail in this last deed.
