      These have provided their birth certificates. The mother of the groom died in this parish on November 19, 1817, verified by a death certificate being in the parish archives, and thus it was not necessary for a copy to be produced

The here-named couple declared themselves to one another in marriage: one, Salome Bühler, the other Jacques Schamber, in the presence of the following 4 witnesses:
      1. Abraham Billier, laborer, 32, first cousin of the groom

      3. Louis Dick, weaver, 34, brother-in-law of the groom

      These 4 witnesses are residents of this parish.
      After which, I, Pierre Fleury, Mayor, representing the state, pronounced the couple united in marriage in the eyes of the law.
