Thursday. Jan 2, 1862
San Francisco, Nov. 29, James E. Calhoun son of late John C of S. C. 33 y

Prominent attorney who died unmarried. Perhaps unsurprisingly given his father - the late John Caldwell Calhoun - he was active in the California Democrat Party as a Breckinridge-Lane Democrat.

The 4th District Court adjourned early in his honor. The death announcement was published throughout the country, both as a tribute to Calhoun as an attorney and as a son to his great American father.

Please feel free to suggest in an edit if you have confirmation as to whether Calhoun's remains were transferred to a separate memorial at Cypress Lawn or whether he was interred in the Pioneer Mound. The record at the cemetery website gives "WS-Laurel Hill" for "James C. Calhoun" - an error on the middle initial that was committed in a few places.
