  It appears that Sally Sue has mixed information for two persons named James Christian.  This date of death does match the month of death known from the Social Security Death Index, but the full date of death is reported by the California Death Index for a James L Christian.  The maiden name of this James' mother was Duke, indicating this is a different person.  The middle name is different, also, from the middle name Sally reports.  Her place of death appears, likewise, to be dependent on this incorrect California record.
