http://vitals!.rootsweb!.ancestry!.com/ca/d!.!.!.
has his death as 08/18/1954 in Los Angeles County!. It has his MMN McCabe, birth date 11/09/1885!.

There are 4 Anson Smiths who died in California in 1954 on it, but only one with middle name Burlingame!. The dates are so close and the two given names so exact that I feel this is your man!. Either the CDI or your source has the wrong dates!. If your source is wrong, that may be why you haven't found anything!. If the CDI is wrong, it won't be the first time!.

He had an SSN, so if it is worth $27 you can verify his MMN and father's name buy buying a copy of his SSN application!. Write if you are interested!. He isn't on the SSDI!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
