Notes for David D. Sublett Risner
His death certificate records David Risner, age 68 years 6 months 18 days, born 25 May 1870 in Magoffin Co., Ky, died 11 Dec 1939 in Mt. Sterling, Montgomery Co., Ky, residence James Alley, farmer, married, husband of Ollie Brown, age 46, father Michael Risner, mother’s maiden name Clara Dayer, both born in Magoffin Co., Ky, cause of death arteriosclerosis and nephritis, informant Mrs. Ollie Risner, Mt. Sterling, Ky, burial in Salem Cem.
The reported age and birth date are off probably by one year; he was recorded as 1 year old in the 1870 census, taken in June. His parents also cannot have been born in Magoffin County, since it was not created until 22 Feb 1860, from parts of Floyd, Johnson and Morgan counties.

All children plus David are listed as born Ky Ky Va, but that makes the mother’s place of birth inconsistent. There is a short word above the “M2” in David’s marital status column, but I cannot read it.
