Cedar Township is located in the N.W. corner of Dade County. I grew up in Ernest Township just east of Cedar Township and would estimate that it is 4- 6 miles from Golden City to the S.W. corner of Cedar Township. It is very likely that our ancestor lived in Dade Co. but received their mail through the Golden City Post Office which would be the closest Post Office to them. Hope this helps
