  • Notes 
    • I believe this Wilks may be related to my other Wilks/Wilkes family, just haven't found the connection yet. Their headstone is in the same plot as some of my Wilkes's in a very small cemetery.

      He was a farmer. His parents were James E. Wilks of Callaway Co., Missouri, and Hannah S. Kelsick of Kentucky. Mrs. J.S. Wilks of Mineola, Missouri, gave the information for his death certificate.
