From 1929 to 1935, both the US Census of 1930 and Los Angeles Voter Registration records report that Robert Cholet and “Blanche Cholet” lived together.  Living with them was Gerald Holcomb (of Michigan), listed as “cousin”.  (If he was a cousin, it must have been to Blanche, as Robert had no relatives in the United States at that time.)  I have found no record of a marriage between Robert and Blanche, nor have I found a divorce decree that could account for why Robert is no longer living with either of them after 1936.  The 1940 US Census shows them still living together, with Gerald as Head of Household, and Blanche as “sister with her marital status as “divorced”.  Robert is listed as married and living in Bakersfield, California.

If Blanche O. Brown is, in fact, Blanche O. Cholet as she seems to be, then Blanche  died in 1959 (per the grave marker) and is buried at Forest Lawn in Covina, California, as Blanche O “Brown” (not Cholet, but perhaps her maiden name or a previous married name).  She shares a grave marker with Gerald J Holcomb, where his inscription reads “Beloved Brother” to Blanche.

Admittedly, I cannot prove at this time that Blanche Brown and Blanche Cholet are the same person.  However, as she is buried with Gerald Holcomb it seems too much of a coincidence.  Can there really have been two persons with these names and birth/death dates in Los Angeles at the same time?

So far, Forest Lawn has not been able to provide any information that would help clarify their identities.
