I took the headstone photo, the photo of Jep is a family photo and the Obits were my grandmother’s, cut from the Beaumont Enterprise. The material on this page is to be considered COPYRIGHTED by me and cannot be copied and placed on Findagrave.com.

s/o of Jeff. D. & Nancy Jane Cross Wilkinson

By 1920, the boy’s mother had passed away. The two youngest boys were living with their father, Jefferson Davis Wilkinson. They were woking at the saw mill just up the road. My grandfather, Wilburn Joseph Wilkinson said Uncle Jep’s name was “Jefferson Franklin” but people called him Jeff Frank or “Jep”. (I grew up calling him Uncle Jep.). In this 1920 census, you can see Uncle Jep is listed as Jefferson and the surname has been listed as “WilkERson”.
