Charles H. Shippy was born on the Shippy home farm one mile north of Woodbine, 
   in the year 1893. In the early nineteen hundreds, his parents moved to a farm on
   Carry Creek. There Charles attended school at Liberty Center District #101 and Pearl
   U1. He graduated from Chapman High School with the class of 1915. After graduation,
   the two brothers, Harvey and Charles, farmed together with some help from their 
   father.

   Hope community. They rented the Shippy farm and bought the Timm farm which they
   farmed in the Woodbine communitiy. In 1941, a farm was bought from Mrs. Ed Munsenmeyer
   in the Lyona community.
        Their children attended school at Liberty Center District #101, Lyona District
   #1, and Carry Creek District #14. All six children graduated from Chapman High School.
        Kansas is the home of their children at present. Alfred lives in Abilene; Velma 
   and Della Mae, Overland Park, Kansas (suburb of Kansas City, Kansas); Eldon, rural 
   Navarre; Earl, rural Hope; and Gerald, Lyona community.
        Charles and Daisy have turned the farming over to their youngest son, Gerald.
   They are enjoying retirement in their home.
