Note - German civil marriage records in the 1870s and beyond have two pages. You've only provided the first page here, but there may be more witnesses on the following page. At least it will provide the rest of the information about witness #4, and should also provide the signatures of these people.

Note - I forgot to mention in the first post, I'm not sure what "Ersatz Reserve" means, maybe some military designation?
