Citing this Record
"United States Social Security Death Index," database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J24X-W6J : 4 December 2020), William Darner, Jan 1986; citing U.S. Social Security Administration, Death Master File, database (Alexandria, Virginia: National Technical Information Service, ongoing).
----------------------------------------

The exact day and year of William's death is a little confusing. It appears to be one of those cases in which he died late on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1985 but was not officially declared dead by an attending physician until several hours later when it was January 1, 1986. The "official, legal" records such as the Social Security Death Index will show January 1986 but family and local records will show December 31, 1985.
