Loli, Texas   Loli was located on a plot of land between Ennis and Oak Grove. These three communities were so close together that it was hard for me to distinguish just where one stopped and the other began. Leolia Sellers gave the plot for community purposes. A school house was built which served as the educational center and the church. The school had a number of good teachers, but the one best remembered was W. M. Tidwell, who taught in 1900. His dignified bearing was that of a judge, which he later became. The school building was moved to Central High area when schools consolidated and used as a teacherage. Later it was destroyed by fire. References: Hawkins, et al. Ellis County History Workshop. Ellis County History, Waco, Texian Press. 1972.
