Burks, 24 Oct 1900 Boone County. [It appears that Savilla (Saville) Thomas married Ira Burt (Bert) Burks first in 1899, when she was but age 16. Perhaps this marriage was annulled because of her age. Ira Burt (Bert) Burks may have then married Fannie Morgan, who died soon after. Then Savilla (Saville) Thomas married Ira Burt (Bert) Burks and the couple had one child, Harold. They must have divorced before 15 Apr 1910.]
