Cherokee Strip Cowpunchers Association (CSCPA)
Does anyone have information on the Cherokee Strip Cowpunchers Association (CSCPA)? Stonewall J. “Tony” Montgomery (1864-1955) was one of the 621 members. He and his wife, Laura “Annie” Nesbitt, settled in Cedar Vale, Kansas, where they established their own ranch that included leased range in the nearby Osage Nation. Montgomery and his family, including ten children, ranched in Chautauqua County, Kansas, and the Osage County, Oklahoma area for the remainder of their lives. They are both buried in the Cedar Vale Cemetery.

I spoke with Floyd Montgomery today. Stonewall Jackson Montgomery, aka Tony or SJ, was his grandfather. They migrated to the area of Rock Creek So. of CV. Their home site was later Sartin land. In our days that place was rented by the Everet Magnus family.
The Montgomery family came north from Texas with the Loman family. this name was synonymous with the "Big Green" Loman Ranch just south of the Oklahoma line. Floyd doesn't know about the CSCCA but imagines it to be true.
there is a book out concerning Montgomery and the CSCPA--Vanished Herd. Albert Stehno / Jim Fulbright. info on it can be found online. 1/21/13
