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. 1910; Census Place: Nine Mile Prairie, Callaway, Missouri; Roll: T624_774; Page: 7B; Enumeration District: 37; Image: 413.
