Steve Sturtevant Have you ever heard of the settlement of Shippee? This little settlement was located a few miles west of Wilsonville, Nebraska on Highway 89 just into Red Willow County. I stopped to talk to a long time resident of the area named Mr. Ruf to find out the exact location of Shippee. At one time there was an elevator, a stock yard, and a store. The settlement had a post office from 1913 to 1933. I have posted a picture of the site of this little town plus a picture of the railroad that ran by the town. As you can see the fire that devastated the area this past year burned one of the bridges.

Good Luck Gentry with your future!

Every day in the clinic or hospital I meet extraordinary caregivers. They are the ones who have gone above and beyond the call of duty; sometimes for years at a time. When you ask them how they do it, they shrug and smile. I am not talking about any doctor, nurse, or therapist. I am referring to those who care for and look after their elderly friends and family members. This can be a spouse, adult child, adult grandchild, neighbor, or even a good friend.
