    3. Hi Faryl, Let's do keep in touch. Where exactly are you from....I'm from Mooreland. My sister was born there, as well as my father's entire family. Dad's father JAMES STRAIGHT ELWOOD was born in New York State and left his immediate family in Clay Center Nebraska when he moved to Mooreland to homestead in 1910. I lived there from about 4 (or younger )to 7 years of age. I went to first and second grade at Mooreland School. I saw a site that had a link to the Woodward county cemeteries, but just the names. I noticed a "Cedardale cmetery" as well. At one point, we moved onto the "Pendergrast farm" when I was in 2nd grade. At that time Cedardale had 4 or 5 people (1 family) and two buildings....their home and a tiny building which served as a post office, ice house, general store and service station!!!!! That was 50 years ago! I will be most happy to advise you of a website if I find any information....and would love to talk to you after your summer trip to Oklahoma. I'd be happy to pay you for pictures of the grave stones of James Straight Elwood and Anna Margaret Johnson Elwood. He died December 17, 1952. She died December 16, 1929. Both are buried at Mooreland Cemetery.
