Alice, a search for "mary calhoun" in the California Death Records gives 29
records; only 2 in the 1940s however. The only Mary Ellen lived until 1986. You can search
these records yourself, and if you find a likely match, order the death certificate, or
search for an obituary.

You can also add a "post-em" to the record, so that any cousins can link up with
you. There is one possible match in the 1930 Census:
Name: Mary Calhoun
Age: 60
Estimated birth year: 1869
Relation to Head-of-house: Wife
Home in 1930: Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California
Image Source: Year: 1930; Census Place: Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California; Roll: 152;
Page: ; Enumeration District: 524; Image: 291.0.
She isn't quite old enough, but maybe she was vain? I hope this helps,
