There was a William Calhoun who died 1984 in GA:
WILLIAM CALHOUN, 27 Jun 1916 - Jun 1984; Last residence and last benefit both Waycross,
Ware, GA 31501; SSN 718-07-1117, Long-time or retired railroad workers.
But this looks like your William:
WILLIAM CALHOUN, 25 Oct 1931 - Apr 1985; Last residence and last benefit both Sylvania,
Screven, GA 30467; SSN 256-46-5917, applied for in Georgia. If you go to the SSDI,
http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi and search for him, you can do two
things.
First, click on the SS-5 link, to generate a letter requesting his Social Security
application. Print it out, and send it with a check to the SSA for a copy of his
application.
Second, click on the Add Post-Em link, and leave a message for any of your cousins who are
researching this same William Calhoun.
You can also go to the Screven Co. GA GenWeb site,
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gascreve/, and
request a lookup of William's obituary. If the USGW site can't help you, perhaps
Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness has a Screven Co. GA volunteer who will look up his
obituary.

Good luck!
