Jane, unfortunately 1963 falls right between where the Missouri State Archives Death
Records leaves off (1955) and when the Social Security Death Index is strong, which is
right after that. The records began to be computerized in 1962, but I don't find
either of the men listed. I take that back. I searched for Calhoun and the death date you
list, and found no matches. I searched for Calhoun and both birth dates, and did find
John:
JOHN CALHOUN, 24 Jan 1924 - Nov 1986. Last residence: Pearland, Brazoria Co. TX 77581.
SSN: 436-22-8978, issued in Louisiana.
You might want to locate this record in the SSDI yourself, so you can place a Postem on
his record, with your contact info, so any cousin-researchers can find you.

Also, you can then click on the SS-5 link, and generate a letter to the SSA to request a
copy of John's SSN Application. Finally, you have a month of death and his final
residence, which should help you locate an obituary. More information about his brother
and other family members will hopefully be found in the obit or in funeral home records.
I hope this helps.
