I checked the Los Angeles Times and all the major online newspaper databases that I am aware of, and I don't see an obituary in those places for them.

There is some information about obituaries in Los Angeles County here - http://www.lapl.org/collections-resources/research-guides/obituaries  Down at the bottom, there is a link to the Los Angeles County library, which it says will do 3 free lookups a month. 

If that doesn't give the needed information, you would probably need to buy a death certificate.  http://www.lavote.net/home/records/death-records/death-records-request

Hi,

The  online death certificates are only available up to 1960, so Fanny's is unavailable.

Here is Frederick's DC. He was buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery. I would assume Fanny would have been buried there also.

DC: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9SJ-K9W3-5?i=186&wc=SJ5N-BZ9%3A285174601%2C285405501%3Fcc%3D2001287&cc=2001287
