Gustav and Jeanette signed their marriage entry

This second view of the 1883 civil record preserves the signatures of Gustav Reichenbach, Jeanette Rosenbaum and the witnesses. Their hands completed the official entry and joined the two households in law. The signatures prove participation, but they do not describe the couple’s later business arrangements.

English translation

The witnesses were called and appeared: [names, ages, occupations and residences as entered]. In the presence of the witnesses, the registrar asked the engaged couple separately and in turn whether they declared that they wished to enter into marriage with one another. The couple answered this question in the affirmative. The registrar then pronounced that, by force of law, they were now lawfully joined as husband and wife. Read aloud, approved and signed: [signatures, including Reichenbach]. The registrar: [signature].
