Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The Courier prints the surname "Strader" once in the body and "Struder" in the headline and elsewhere; the register abstract gives "Struder." The record is named from the majority reading, with the other kept as an alias. The item does not say whether he still held office. The register entry is cited, not merged. The bride has no record here.
