SSN 553-01-9619 issued in California in 1952. The Washington Death Index: Leo M. Callaway, born about 1895, died 12 July 1985 in Marysville, residence in Marysville. SSN: 533-01-9619 (a SSN beginning with 533 would have been issued in Washington, this is "probably" a typo). There is nothing else about this person located online. I checked the Snoho County Recorder, no documents found. You could "try" for an obituary: The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . --but, if there was no one desiring to pay for one, there would not have been one published. There "might" have been a death notice, which "might" identify the name of the funeral home; or might just be the name and date of death. A lot of elderly do not have obituaries published, for reason of cost, length of time residing in an area, or no family/friends in the area. Her SSN was issued in California in 1952, but no idea on when she may have moved to Washington. Because both the SSDI and the WDI identified her residence in Marysville, that's probably where she died. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
