Mary, I did a search of the Social Security Death Index on Rootsweb, and came up with
this: JOHN CAHOON, b. 6 Aug 1925, d. 19 Nov 1996 (Verified), last res: Wellston, Jackson
Co., OH 45692, SSN 295-22-9116, issued in Ohio. If you go to
http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi you can do this search, then click the
SS-5 letter link next to his entry, and print out the resulting letter. If you send that
to the Social Security Administration, they will send you back his SSN application, with
his signature on it!
You will also want to click the "Add Post-Em" link, and put any contact
information in there that you want. Other family members and researchers will be able to
contact you, that way.
You may want to start looking for his death certificate and obituary, given the
information you now have. Living relatives are often mentioned in an obituary. You may be
able to get his birth certificate with his birthdate, also.
Good luck!
