August 13, 1861 is the marriage date of George RIES and Sarah A. Turk. I have a copy and there is a copy at Morrison-Talbott Library, Waterloo, Il and at some other area libraries. Now out of print, but MCGS may reprint in the future. Another RIES (not REIS) marriage is Thomas to Margaret Mees on Oct. 13, 1868. REIS marriages: Adam Jr. to Mrs. Barbara Bussler on 3/29/1862 Adam Sr. to Henrietta Heinrich on 5/27/1872 Jacob to Mrs. Margaret Doll on 1/26/1864 Mrs. Louisa to John Hirz on 7/7/1864 Magdalena to Thomas Ruch on 6/8/1871 Peter to Louisa Acker on 3/29/1860 Peter to Barbara Platz aon 6/24/1860 In our last Quarterly I included Bible pages of Barbara Reis, wife of George Reis, a Civil War soldier, also a picture of George. George and Barbara were married on Nov. 23, 1873, at Mt. Vernon IN. He was the son of George Reis, b. may 4, 1844 in Waterloo. Is this one of your Ries/Reis? Jan
