Search for Cecelia's record of birth

It's a little bit out of place, and I am too lazy to search for the correct place.
This documents that Cecelia's birth is not recorded
Or, at least, it is not found using the search terms.
If you have more information, let me know

1930 Census

First two lines are continued from previous page

Here is a primary source showing some information about these two.

First, Clarence is 28 years old and Cecelia is 19 years old as of 10 April 1930.  We also see that Clarence is a Door maker at the Tool? Woodwork Company, working for a wage, and that he is not a veteran.  He did not fight in World War I.

Cecelia and Clarence lived at 3814 Page Boulevard

An odd looking house, seems quite small

Cecelia was living with her husband's family.  In one small house on 3814 Page Boulevard in St Louis there were three couples:  Clarence and Cecelia; his parents Oliver Bebe and Rosa Evelyn Davis Young [Rosa is presumed to have been Indian per Shirley's interview]; and his brother Roscoe and Lucille Young.

Birth of daughter Shirley Mae 

I don't have primary sources for Shirley's birth.   I have her death certificate, and other tertiary sources of her birth date.  Okay.  Moving right along.

During the Great Depression, Cecelia Anderson Young, age 25, likely faced hardships like joblessness and scant resources while living  in St Louis Missouri in 1935

Though the vast majority of the jobs created by President Roosevelt

he also employed artists to document life across the country.

About 200 deaths were attributed to the heatwave in the city, but Chicago was just one of many places where extremely hot weather caused havoc that summer.  Across America, the heatwave was blamed for more than 5,000 deaths and the failure of crops in the nation's breadbasket.

Death of Cecelia's mother

Cecelia's mother Ida passed away on 8 February 1937 in St Louis Missouri at the age of 61.  Either Cecelia or Ida was living at 819 Chambers Street, St Louis Missouri

Staff, Ida M. Tullock Burial Permit, 1937

Tullock Family, 1937

Her address is listed as 819 Chambers, St Louis MO.  Wife of Albert Tullock, she was a mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law and aunt.  

What this tells me is that her family was fairly close to her.  Later generations proved to be less cohesive, but here she had children and grandchildren, siblings and their family.  I wish there was more information.  She is buried at Calvary Cemetery.  You can view her Find a Grave memorial here. I'm afraid there is not a photo of her grave, there may not have been a stone.   https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/46205259
