Cedar Vale Cemetery
Chautauqua County, Kansas
Surnames Y through Z

The Cedar Vale Cemetery is located in the southwest part of the town of Cedar Vale, S10 - T34 - R8. The main entrance gate has a bronze plaque marked “In Memoriam — Joan Dosbaugh Johnson..” In the months of my research I discovered Cheryl Voigtlander of Arkansas City, Ks., was working on this project.. In due time she gave me a list row by row. I transferred this list to 3x5 cards to put in alphabetical order. I rechecked this work for errors and have a tombstone list that is reasonably accurate up through 1986. This does not include unmarked graves. The Cedar Vale city clerk’s office has records.. One can check this source also. There was a tornado years ago that upset and moved many stones in the older section so the exact location is uncertain, even though a very conscious effort was made to re—establish them in their proper location.

Mr. Guy has furnished his own map of the Cedar Vale cemetery with his original work.
Each line item was coded to that map.

Any person who might wish to visit the cemetery in search of their ancestor may use

If you have an obit of a person either listed or unlisted and would like to share it with others, I would be happy to post the obit and link to it. DET
