Glasgow (KY) Times, 5 May 1898.
"Mr. Fayette Winn Dead. 

Mr. Fayette Winn, one of the best and best-known men of the county, dropped 
dead at his home near Bruce Monday. He was planting corn and suddenly fell to 
the earth and died instantly. It is supposed that heart disease caused his 
death.

"Few men in Barren county were more sincerely esteemed than Mr. M. D. L. Winn, 
or, as he was known among his friends, Fayette Winn. He was one of the best, 
truest and bravest of men, and at the same time one of the most modest, and 
almost as timid as a woman. He was a Confederate soldier, and one of the 
bravest of the brave. During the war he received a severe wound in the thigh, 
and this has caused him more or less annoyance ever since. It is suspected that 
this was possibly one of the indirect causes of his death.

"His was a gallant and gentle spirit, and he was a gentleman in the highest and 
best since [sic] of the word. A good man and true has gone to his reward.

"--- the family burying-ground on the farm of Mr. Jonathan Jewell, Tuesday 
morning last at nine o'clock, by the Gen. Jos. H. Lewis Camp of Confederate 
Veterans, after appropriate funeral services by Revs. James Chenault, of the 
Baptist denomination - of which church Mr. Winn had been a faithful member for 
more than a generation."
