NANNY’S CHILDREN’S SHOPPE since 1982

Please come join us at Sanibel Square this month along with the rest of Sanibel in saying Good Luck to Jan Gabrielson in the closing of Nanny’s. Huge Store-End Closing Sale now going on.

We also would like to take a moment to thank Jan for her years of being in business and being such an integral part of the Sanibel business community.

Jan is one of the reasons why so many little kids on Sanibel and throughout the U.S. look very stylish.

We thank you Jan as we wish you nothing but the best of luck in your next phase in life and now, due to Nanny’s closing, there will be a lot less kids looking stylish.

The interns seek opportunities to apply their knowledge in the real world and help shape them as future conservation stew- ards. It’s a win-win situation for both the interns and the refuge, officials say. Interns provide the help needed in biolog- ical research and educational programs.

The Merrie Maid pictured on the far right in the historic photo is Mary Hart Stebbins Philips, the first woman from Lee County to graduate from college. Mary hailed from true pioneer roots. Born in 1887, she was the daughter of Charles Hyde and Ida Blount Stebbins. Her father was one of the 45 “fathers of Fort Myers” who signed the document to incorporate the town in 1885. He died the year Mary was born, succumbing at last to illness related to a gunshot wound to his lung, which he suffered while fighting in the Battle of Fort Myers during the Civil War. He was the first person buried in the Fort Myers Cemetery. Mary’s mother was a member of one of the town’s earliest families. Her father, Jehu J. Blount, had settled in Fort Myers in 1873, worked with his brother-in-law Capt. Francis A. Hendry in the cattle business, and later established one of the town’s first general stores. While Mary was still a small child, her mother married John C. English of Alva.
