About the Author:
The Ennis Railroad and Cultural Heritage Museum was instrumental to this project. Located in the former depot, it is a testimony to the historical role the railroad played in Ennis and all of Ellis County. Images were also gathered from the Ellis County Museum, City of Ennis, Ennis Public Library, and the Ford Curry Collection. Laurie Wilson is a member of the Ellis County Czech Heritage Society, Ellis County Museum, and both she and coauthor Peggy Rankin are members of the Ennis Heritage Society.
