Sarah - It may be a few days before I can get to the library to check on an obituary. I checked the cemetery listings for Wichita Falls, and I didn't find Thomas M. Hankins, but I think there is a typo in the index. The database was typed some years ago into a database for the city parks department, which oversees the city run cemeteries. Over the years I have found many typos. In Rosemont Cemetery I found this information: P. M. Hankins buried on 11 MAR 1936 Section 5 Space 220 Hines Undertaker Given that this person was buried 2 days after the death date you gave, I feel pretty certain this is your Thomas. This section is s single lot section, meaning there are no family pots. Also, there are many unmarked graves in this section. I have to go to Dallas tomorrow, but maybe Wednesday I can stop by there and see if it is marked and get a photo to compare with the index. Also in Rosemont was Tom Hanks, buried on 6 MAR 1947 in Block L, Space 5, Row 3 Owens & Brumley Funeral Home.
