Michael,

I found some information after a few searches.

California Death Index (CDI) search:

COOK, Della M., 82

d. 30 Jun 1970, Orange Co., CA

COOK, Claude L., 73
b. 15 Jul 1887, IL
d. 10 Sep 1960, Los Angeles Co., CA

The 1930 US Census lists Claude, Della, and the two children:

1930 US Federal Census, Kansas, Butler, El Dorado City, Dist. 17, ED 8-17, Sheet 15 A, Pg. 160

CDI:

b. 16 Jun 1920, KS
d. 10 May 1981, Orange Co., CA

You can get copies of the death certificates they will list the informant, which is usually a family member.:

Probate records are also a great resource for descendant information.
