My mother married Frank Shipman, son of Clayton and Effie Jane Shipman of Nebraska. I see from your family tree that Clayton's mother was Mary Josephine Wilson. By the way, the Spipmans had 2 sons: Frank was killed in Italy during the war in 1944, and his brother, Delbert, was hit and killed by a drunk driver in 1946. Therefore Clayton and Effie left no direct descendents. However, when my mom married another we still considered the Shipmans our "grandparents" and went to see them many, many times. I would appreciate any information you might have on Mary J Wilson's family or the Shipman family! Linda
