Does it say that he acted as best man ? Or was it assumed because his name was signed as witness there were times when people were married and the people who acted as the best man and maid of honor were not the people that signed the certificate because it was to be some one over 21,as a wittness.Therefore when we find the marriage license it really only tells who they had sign as wittness and not always who they had as attendants.

Carol, Thanks for your thoughtful response. I have a copy of the marriage license. The signatures of the witnesses are of Anna M. Wnukowski, my father's sister, and Constantine V. Kowalski, my father's cousin. Anna was born in 1887; she was 29 at the time of this marriage. Constantine was born in 1888; he was 28. It is possible that Uncle Con was unable to attend the ceremony. His draft registration card, dated June 5, 1917, states that he had pulmonary tuberculosis. --Goldie W. Magee
