has 9,000,000+ death records in California 1940 – 1995, and he isn’t there. Either
One of your facts is wrong
One of your facts got garbled on the CDI
He slipped under the radar somehow
None of the above
If you can find him there it will have his exact death date.
If you get his exact death date you can send a small check, a SASE and a request to the library in Escondido, asking them to look up his obit in the microfilm.
The GenForum and Ancestry pages for the county do not look promising; many requests, few replies.
This is the closest Edward Chappell on the CDI.
He is b. 1902 here and on the SSDI.
CHAPPELL, EDWARD MOULTON

“RI” might be a mis-transcription of “WI”. Birth years being off by one happens in 20% of the people I find. “Moulton / Willis” is something I can’t explain.
