In 1902 the town of Sedona was named after this pioneer woman.
A large statue of Sedona can been seen at the Sedona Public Library.
Sedona's parents were Phillip and Amanda Miller. She married T. Carl Schnebly on her 20th birthday in Gorin, Missouri, and they were the parents of 6 children. In 1901, they moved to the banks of Upper Oak Creek with 2 young children, Elsworth and Pearl. After 2 years of hard work, the Schneblys had opened the first store, the first hotel, which Sedona ran, the first truck farm, and the first post office. Daughter Genevieve was born here.
When Carl applied for the first Post Office, several names for the town were rejected by the Post Master General, Washington D.C. Carl's brother suggested they use the name Sedona and on June 26, 1902, the Postmaster approved it. At the age of 25, Sedona became the mother of the town and was very well-liked throughout her life by the community.
Life was hard for this pioneer woman. In 1905, her daughter Pearl died in an accident that affected Sedona deeply. The family moved back to Gorin, Missouri, then to Colorado, and finally returned to Sedona in 1931 during the height of the Depression. They rented a one-room house, and Sedona at the age of 54 years, washed and ironed uniforms for the CCC (Civil Conservation Corps).
She was active in the American Union Sunday School, serving as secretary-treasurer. Her careful investments made it possible to build the Wayside Chapel and the Chapel Bell, which can be heard throughout the red rock canyons, is dedicated to her memory.
Sedona died from cancer and was buried next to her daughter, Pearl.
