Carol Bowman Kehler is a life long summer resident
of Deale, Maryland. She has worked as a
high school history teacher and certified genealogist. While working on a house history of the
Roberts home at Cedar Point, she collected interesting facts about the history
of the area. Many thanks go to those
residents who told their stories to help preserve the history of Deale. Special appreciation goes to Ella Roberts Miller
and her daughter Doris Miller Bowman for many years of collecting, organizing,
photographing, and remembering the history of the House at Cedar Point. They inspired us to continue learning and
preserving our past.
The Roberts family photos are used in this booklet.
The Knopp family has shared much information about early Deale with stories
from Alvin “Butler” Knopp, Sally Marshall, and Evelyn Broyles, Ida Williams and members of the Deale Area Historical
Society.
To Russ Kehler, much gratitude for his encouragement and for winning the
history award all those years ago.
