Cedar Station
"These
images are from Terrell County taken on August 18th, 2005 and are
of the remains of the town of Cedar Station. At least I think it's
a town. I haven't been able to find anything on it, but it was showing
on my map as a town east of Dryden on
Hwy 90. |

three buildings are in close proximity of each other, and are pretty
graffiti covered. You can barely make out the town name on one building
and Grocery on another in faded black paint." - Erik Whetstone,

Cedar Station Texas
I saw your page on Cedar Station, Texas. I used to live at Cedar
Station in about 1963-65 I lived in that house shown in the first
picture on the Cedar Station page.
My dad, Jim Smith, leased Cedar Station and about 600 acres around
it. He operated the gas station that is shown in the 2nd photo.
He sold gas, food, drinks, etc., and fixed flat tires. He also raised
sheep and goats and had horses on that land. My mother, my two brothers
and two sisters and I lived in that house along with my dad.
There was a small motel there at one time (the third picture). I
believe my grandmother, Dorothy Alice Smith, once sold decorative
rocks out of that building as well. - Randy Smith, May 20, 2006
