I enjoyed catching up with my cousins this summer in Cedar Vale. My grandparents were Ralph and Omeda Snyder and I enjoyed living in Cedar Vale during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The area is a beautiful and relaxing as I remember!

My Family (The Lawrence's) lived on the road south of 166 going to Hewins. My Mom &  Dad Clifford & Pauline, My Uncle Gene, Aunt Eva and Grandma Minnie Farmed before my Mom & Dad moved to Arkansas City in around 1960. Dr. Hays delivered me in the old hospital Jan. 26, 1954. My uncle Loyd was a mechanic at the old Chevrolet dealership and his wife Virginia work at the Post Office. Even though I now live in Newkirk, Oklahoma I still call Cedar Vale my home town.

All the summers of my childhood were spent in Cedar Vale visiting my grandparents - Noreen and Ray Hawkins / Clarence and Evelyn Merz. I still dream of those summer days and Cedar Vale, and find great comfort and joy there.

I have a copy of a letter dated April 3, 1920 that was sent from Cedar Vale.  The letter was to my Great Grandmother Frances Elizabeth Kennedy Kennaday near Saratoga, Wyoming from her brother John Romain Kennedy reporting her mother's death.  The deceased was named Sarah Ann Ankrom that wed Jesse Rufus Kennedy.  I find the website very nice and cannot understand wanting to leave such temperate country for the high, cold area here in Wyoming!  I hope to visit soon!

Hi Sherry,

Thank you for visiting the site. Come back often as we add to it frequently. (The last couple of weeks have been an exception, due to computer problems)

There is a Sartin in my Phelps/Foudray lineage. They also came from Kentucky, then to Missouri and then to Kansas.

Feel free to share your stories, etc., in the forum area "Cedar Vale Corral". 

Glad you enjoyed the photos.
Hope to see you come back often...

Just checking out your site.  Am descended from Aaron Sartin & Katie Clara Mussey.  My grandfather, Allen C. Sartin was born in Cedarvale.  My family came to Cedarvale during the 1860's from Kentucky by wagon train.  Loved the photos.  Looking for local Christmas traditions or stories of Cedar Vale Christmases.

Hi Bobbie,

Thank you for your kind comments!

We will be adding more history to the site soon. We also will be adding to and changing the site, so come back often. We have a forum area also that you can participate in and we hope to have a chat area before too long. We have several things to add that we hope people will enjoy.

I will send you an e-mail about Col F. M Hills. He was mayor of Cedar Vale three times and came to  Cedar Vale from Pennsylvania in  a wagon with his wife and several children. He had two brothers that were already settled in Cedar Vale.

This site is fairly new, but we had much of the information on our sister site(we will be keeping that information there as well) and just recently set these pages up just for Cedar Vale as we wanted to expand the Cedar Vale information.

Come back often and hope you will also participate in the forum area.

We are working on the "Cedar Creek Gifts/Gallery" catalog and hope to have it set up in a couple of weeks if not sooner.

Thanks for visiting and hope you will be back
often!!

I was searching for infomation on my Great-grandfather, Col. F. M. Hills. My grandson is doing a project on the Civil War, and we have been searching the internet for a copy of his obituary. I found this website. This is terrific! Just finding his name being elected mayor of the "3" Class Town was great. I am looking forward to more history being added. If anyone has information, please contact me.
