Arkansas Delayed Birth Certificate #689
Vida May Holderness, 920 West 2nd St, Pine bluff, Jefferson Co, AR was born 19 Oct 1907 to Harry Iverson Holderness, age 37, and Vida Strange, age 32. She was the second child in the family. Mrs. E. B. Blloom, age 78 attested to the birth, 3 Jan 1957.

Married Robert H. Baker. Had a daughter. Lived in Little Rock and Hot Springs, AR.
This may be Robert's record from Social Security: born 22 May 1899; died Jul 1979 in Little Rock AR. The only record for a Vida Baker in Little Rock was one born 19 Oct 1907; died 11 Feb 1994 - that would seem to be the correct person.
