My Great Aunt Nell, born in Canada and then the family moved to near Lincoln to work at the mills, moved to Alaska for a while and homesteaded. Her younger brother, my grandfather, was the first US citizen born in the family. Nell was probably born in the late 1800’s, and she was the type of woman who would just squat and pee by the side of the road, rather than wait until a rest stop. My paternal aunts all laugh nervously when I ask them about Aunt Nell. I’d go to Alaska in a heartbeat, just to see it.
