I'm pretty sure the 1917 burial is him.  The cemetery's website - http://www.evergreen-cemetery.info/whos-here.php - also has burials in the same plot for Joseph P. Cottrell, age 90, and Nancy E. Cottrell, age 64. 

Also listed in the same plot are EM & CH COTTRELL, who may be deceased children of Joseph & Nancy.  http://www.rootschat.com/links/019i5/

It's a subscription site & I don't have a subscription, but it appears there is a story about his death on http://www.genealogybank.com/gbnk/newspapers/explore/USA/California/San_Jose/San_Jose_Mercury_News/  If you search for Joseph Cottrell from 1917 to 1917, you can sort of see a snippet of it.  It looks like he died from drowning in Newport.

Thank you so much Shelly, I have got the Evergreen for the others but missed him. So grateful. A Coulon cousin has a paper membership which he has lost the membership details of, will try to get him to check it out.

Cheers

You're welcome.  Sounds like a lot of tragedy in one family!   :'(
