I believe you were my 3rd great grandfather, but your last name was spelled "Neel." You left behind a wife and 2 daughters, ages 4 and 2. The latter was my 2nd great grandmother. You were buried in Elkins Cemetery in an unmarked grave in Omen, Texas.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 158th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace
