thank you so much. It sounds like getting the death certificate since 911 maybe alittle harder??
It is interesting that she was unemployed in 1920 and a doctor in 1949?? Maybe she went to college in LA???

You can purchase a copy of her death certificate from:

You can alsop write the mortuary:

720 W. Washington Blvd.
Los Angeles 90015

I found the following 1920 Los Angeles Census
