Cecil Denver Wallace, Sr.

Birth date: 2 November 1908
Marriage: 26 March 1927 (age 18) to Lucy Elizabeth Melisa Henize (age 19)
Death date: 16 May 1959

In the 1930 Census. The census says it's in Batavia township, but I wonder if they made a separate page for Amelia, since it was so small?

In the 1940 Census. His family was living in Pike County, KY at the time.

Something interesting from this 1940 census is that it lists the yearly income of the families. If you enlarge the picture, you'll see that Cecil's yearly income was $1,640. For comparison, a civil engineer on the same page of the census earned $3,000 and a store manager earned $2,400. The clerk at that store earned just over $500 a year.

EDIT: I found more records (birth and census) for Cecil Wallace. I put them in this post about his mother, Julia Anna Peters.
