The proclamations (bans) have been made in this townhall in the required
forms and without any opposition, at noon, on the Sundays of the 10th
and 17th of last February.
Similar banns took place, without opposition, the 17th and 24th of the same
month in the townhall of Uhrwiller.
The bridegroom produced his birth certificate and the death certificate
of his mother.  The birth certificate of the bride and the death notices
of her father and mother are written in the register of the civil registry
in the city of Strasbourg.
The bridegroom stated under oath that it is impossible to give further
information about his father as he had been away from home for 15 years and
that no one knew there he had gone.  He said besides that that he could no
produce the death certificates of his grandmother and grandfather, no
knowing their last address.
The bride declared as well, her banns were certified in the 4 weeks previous,
and stated, under oath, that like the bridegroom she does not know the place
of her ancestors and their last home.
From these records and from all the requirements of the Napoleonic Code,
the civil state officer made some remarks, in the terms of the law, the
two spouses present having declared publicly, one after the other, that
they wish to take each other for husband and wife, the civil officer of the
state has pronounced in the name of the law, that Pierre Lemmer and Sophie
Caroline Allouette are united in marriage.
We have then questioned the future newlyweds as well as the people who
authorize the marriage to declare if a marriage contract has been made.  It
has been answered that the marriage contract would no be broken (till death
do us part).
All this in the presence of 4 witnesses, so designated, to wit:
George Marckwalter, age 68 years
