Social Security Death Index has her born 27 Apr 1896 instead. One census has them both 14 so 1896 seemed right. Ida Nora's marker says 1898.

Her death certificate says Birdie, Cecil's birth certificate says Berdie, which is probably right, so I've changed it.

She married DW Rustin 20 Apr 1919 in Stone County,
according to online records.
She may have remarried to someone last name Wade, who also died young.
Probably Daniel Travis Wade
1930 census she is in Laurel named Birdie Wade, widowed,
with 10 year old son Cecil Rustin.
1940 census has her in Ovett, also as Birdie Wade.
Later photos of her and Cecil are at house in Jackson where she died.
