Bardwell is an interesting Ellis County town located on the Rock Island
Railroad twenty miles southeast of Waxahachie and almost half way between
Ennis and Italy....like most towns, much of its romantic history centers
about its postoffice where for forty-five years people have gone daily
for their mail. Bardwell is a town of fine people, beautiful homes, modern
churches and a new $45,000 school building with all modern equipment....the
postoffice was established forty-five years ago and records of the Postoffice
