Shipley Cemetery
Washington County, Nebraska

Lat: 41° 23' 36"N, Lat: 95° 58' 58"W

From Fort Calhoun, go three miles south on Highway 75 until you reach County Road 38 then turn east and go 1 mile until you reach County Road 49, turn and go south about 2 miles. The cemetery is on the east side of the road. It is also right on the Douglas/Washington County line.

This was the cemetery that was used by the Shipley Family. For many years it was neglected, but in 1979 a Shipley Cemetery Association was form to maintain the cemetery.

The day I visited on Jun 20 2002, the grass needed to be cut and there were some basestones without the headstones.
