Wilbanks in Baker Lain Cem. Johnson Co Texas
I visted the Baker Lain Cem. in SW Johnson County a few months ago and found several Wilbanks buried there:
Alonzo G. Wilbanks ( b. 11-9-1860, d. 11-23-1938)
Alice Cathy (b. 11-7-1862, d. 6-29-1916)
Hoyetett Leroy Rivesb. 2-9-1926, d. 9-12-1989
Earlene Wilbanksb. 8-7-1925d.---
married march 28,1942
Earl Emory Wilbanks b. 5-22-1891 d. 7-31-1959
Anna L. b. 9-2-1897, d. 1-18-1988
- Behind Alonzo and Alice:
L. Cathey Wilbanks b. 2-22-1885 d. 8-6-1929
< this is one of Alonzo's sons>
- behind L. Cathey:
Gertie Ophella Wilbanks b. 3-10-1903 d. 8-12-1903
- behind and between Earl Emory and Earlene:
Wilton "Red" Hinton b. 2-09-1926 d. 9-12-1989
Bitha Lee Wilbanks b. 12-9-1928 d. ---
Children Donna, Leroy, Rick
In seperate area of cemetary:
Coyette
Son of L.E. Wilbanks
d. 1895
I have some research on most all but I can't seem to connect Gertie and Bitha.I assume Gertie was L. Cathey's daughters.I do not have proof yet other than their dates match. I know that Girtie can not be Alnzo and Alice's child.In the 1910 census she lists all of her children as still living.
Bitha Lee must be Earl Emory Wilbanks daughter.I don't have any proof on this yet either.
Any help on Bitha and Gertie would be of great help.
Hope the above is of help to other wilbanks researchers out there.

David
