My Great-grandmother Mary Stark Oliver Hanks (b. Jan. 18, 1860; d. Jan. 08, 1931) Contact Randy Willis www.randywillis.org randy@randywillis.org She traveled by covered wagon with her parents, John M. Stark and Marie Deroussel, to Branch, Louisiana and later, in 1910, to Lecompte, Louisiana. She often spoke of the panthers screaming in the woods, she said they screamed "just like a women." Mary Stark's first husband was Charles D. Oliver (b. Jan. 14, 1858; d. July 28, 1887 in Prairie Hays, Louisiana). Charles D. Oliver and Mary Stark married January 17, 1878 and had six children before his premature-death, at age 29. Their children were Wayne Oliver (b. Oct. 26, 1878; d. Oct. 25, 1942), John Pat Oliver (June 16, 1880; d. Apr. 25, 1960), Clarinda "Clara" Oliver (Dec. 07, 1881; d. Dec. 07, 1940), Rufus Oliver (b. June 19, 1883; d. Nov. 29, 1963), Alice Oliver (b. June 07, 1886; d. June 18, 1971) and Edna "Charlie" Oliver (b. Sept. 29, 1887; d. Aug 26, 1967). Mary Stark was buried at the Paul Cemetery near Lecompte. Mary Stark's second husband was Arthur Allen Hanks (b.Aug. 27, 1877; d. Aug. 22, 1942). He was the son of William Hanks and Francis Cordelia Soileau Hanks. Mary Stark (b. Jan. 18, 1860; d. Jan. 08, 1931) married Arthur Allen Hanks on Oct. 17, 1895. He was 17-years younger than her. They owned a meat market in Lecompte. Their log home was located right in the middle of where IH 49 is today (approx. 500' south of Highway 112) near Lecompte. The Children of Arthur Allen Hanks and Mary Stark were: my grandmother, Lillie Gertrude Hanks (b. Dec. 29, 1897; d. July 02, 1973), Ivy "Buddy" Lee Hanks (b. Nov. 18, 1898; d. Dec. 10, 1982), William Hanks, b. Nov. 18, 1898; d. Dec. 16, 1898), Callie Hanks (b. June 18, 1901) and Mary Cordelia "Delia" Hanks (b. Apr. 04, 1902; d. Aug. 20, 1946). My grandmother told me that each day, after school, her mother would say "little lady, get a potato and work in the field." My Uncle Howard Willis, told me that his grandmother Mary Stark, reminded him of Grandma Walton on "The Waltons" TV show. Arthur Allen Hanks later married Gertrude Jenkins (1900-1973) and moved near Cushing/Quay, Oklahoma. Gertrude Jenkins first husband was a Laughful Miller; they had four children. Arthur Allen Hanks died in Cushing, Oklahoma and is buried near Yale, Oklahoma in an unmarked-grave. Gertrude died in Tulsa and is buried near Cheneyville, Louisiana. Arthur Allen Hanks and Gertrude also had four children: Wilma Hanks(b. 1928), Mary Hanks (b. 1930), Donna Hanks (b. 1938) and Edwin Hanks (b. 1941).

He furnishes us with a very interesting piece of information in regard to an old gentleman living in that parish by the name of Placide LaBauve. Mr. LaBauve has been residing on the road leading from Leesburg to Grand Chenier for 60 years, and is now 103 (this could be disputed according to Baptismal 1796 recordsSM Vol 4 #779) He has been married for 79 years and has 12 children. Himself and his wife are hale and harty for old people, and he can mount his pony and lope around with astonishing youthfulness. Mr. LaBauve is a pensioner of the war of 1812. They have our wish for a continuance of long and happy life. I add this his wife would of been 60 years old at the birth of her last child.....NOW that is hard to believe. Annette Thibodeaux" was born 1798 she is the daughter of Anselm Thibodeau and Ann Trahan. Lynn LaBove llabove@camtel.net

You can probably find a cemetery association in DeRidder, and those in the area by the phone directory, which, as I satated, can be found in any library.The Vital Statistics officees for the Parish could probably conduct a search, although I don't know what they would charge for that service. You might contact the Historical Society in the area. That's about my only suggestions/ Sorry, Harriett
