George Neel, Jr.
George Edison Neel, Jr. (May 14, 1930 – March 22, 2015), was an American businessman, rancher, community figure, and short story writer from Laredo, Texas.
==Background==
His Neel Title Company was founded in 1925 in Laredo by George Neel, Sr. (1893–1963), who with his wife and Neel Jr.'s mother, the former Selma "Cricket" Rotan (1901–1987), relocated to Laredo in an early Ford car. At the time, the road to Laredo was essentially two ruts in the dirt with room only for one-way traffic. The Neels came from Woodville in Tyler County in the timber country of southeastern Texas,〔 at the urging of a brother of George, Sr.'s, Culbertson B. "Bertie" Neel (1890-1965), a lawyer and former judge of Jasper County, Texas, who had joined the Laredo firm, Mann, Neel & Mann〔 and married the former Bessie Angelina "Bess" Mann (1899-1995), daughter of David G. Mann. The Neels divorced in 1935. They were in-laws of State Representative Honoré Ligarde of Laredo, who was married to their daughter, Betty Jo, from 1946 until her death in 1973.
Bertie Neel urged his brother to relocate and to purchase the Henry Abstract Company in the Sames-Moore Building in downtown Laredo. Neel, Sr., kept the name "Henry Abstract", soon added other competitor companies to his operation, and opened a new modern office at 1219 Washington Street on December 21, 1956.〔 At the time, nearly every Laredo business was located downtown, and street cars ran on a regular schedule.〔
As a 10-year-old, Neel became a delivery boy for the company. He graduated in 1947 from Martin High School in Laredo, at which he played football for the Martin Tigers, both offense and defense without player substitutions. He was years later named a "Tiger Legend". In 1952, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts in English from Baylor University in Waco, Texas. In 1953, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and reached the rank of first lieutenant as the leader of a mortar platoon. He was stationed first in Japan and then South Korea and discharged in 1954. He obtained a master's degree in 1958 from the University of Texas at Austin and wanted to become a journalist.〔
