It is possible it was a stage station I was asking about, not a Pony Express Station.I was in Nebraska in 1973 and saw a small monument marking the location.I found a web site that listed a Frank Helvey (1831-1910), son of Joel Helvey, born in Indiana, moved to Nebraska in 1846, and worked as a Pony Express Rider. He married Eleanor Plummer in nearby Beatrice, Neb. in 1866. Frank also served as sheriff of Jefferson County, Neb. Helvey, Neb. was named for this family.Information from www.xphomestation.com
