Biographical Note
Lucille McCarty Kelly's father, Bert McCarty, a businessman from Ponca City, Oklahoma, purchased a land property in the late 1920s in Ponca, Arkansas, from the Clemmer family, his parents-in-law. One of the structures erected on the site was a store with a café that became known locally as Cedar Crest Camp.
