Fire Station House 16 is a EOC (emergency operations center) that houses up to 10 fire fighters plus their captain. It was an honor to meet these young heros ! It gave us an opportunity to get a quick tour of the facility. We were impressed. It takes a special breed to want to have a career in this field. Everthing was clean, shiny, and organized. Everyone was helpful and very polite. They gave a great hands on presentation. Atmosphere while there was upbeat and educational. Let's keep these brave gentlemen and others in our daily prayers, its a dangerous job in my opinion. God Bless them all and Keep Them Safe.

There is room to pull to the side of the road to see the marker. It reads, "Georgia native Thomas C. Neel married Willia E. Latimer in 1848. The couple moved their family to Texas in 1854 and to Ellis County in 1855. They established a cotton and wheat plantation near what would become Ennis. Neel called his wife "Will" and the plantation became known as Will's Town, which later was shortened to "Wilton." A post office opened on the plantation in 1857; it served under both the United States and Confederate governments. In 1861 Neel was appointed a delegate to the Secession Convention. Later that year, he was elected to represent the 42nd District in the House of Representatives in the 9th Legislature. Shortly after that term ended, he was elected State Senator from the 19th District, but he became ill and died before he was able to serve in the 10th Legislature." It is in excellent condition. It is marker number 11863 and it was erected in 2000 by the Texas Historical Commission. [Review 794 of 2024 - 550 in Texas - 21825 overall]
