Of Choc­taw In­dian her­i­tage, Wil­kin is some­times con­fused with Osage Chief Ba­con Rind. Wilkin was bap­tized in 1937 at Sher­man, Tex­as, by Bur­ton Coff­man. He sang bar­i­tone in the Lone Star Quar­tet, a Gos­pel group that per­formed on ra­dio sta­tion KWFT in Wi­chi­ta Falls, Tex­as, and lat­er on sta­tion WPTF in Ral­eigh, North Car­o­li­na. By 1945, Ba­con had moved in­to min­is­try, preach­ing in Ar­ling­ton, Tex­as; Fort Smith, Ar­kan­sas; Cor­si­ca­na and Dall­as, Tex­as; and Dun­can and Tal­i­hi­na, Ok­la­ho­ma.
