First, the record for Charles William "Carl" OLDENBURG and Wilhelmina "Lena" GRAGERT. It confirms that they were married 26 Jul 1883 and that they were married in the Big Wood German Settlement in Scott county, Minnesota. From what I learned, Big Wood is an old name for Blakely township, where they settled and raised their family. The witnesses that signed are Fred OLDENBURG and Johanna GRAGERT.
Second, the record of Frederich BLUME and Wilhelmina POTTSCHMIDT. This record states that they were married 25th Feb 1861 at St. John church in Shakopee, Scott county, Minnesota. Unfortunately, it doesn't give the names of any witnesses. I have 2 images for this information. The second image states that they were married by the pastor of the First Evangelical Congregational Church in Shakopee.

Third, I have the marriage record that ties these first 2 families together. The marriage of their children Fred BLUME and Maria OLDENBURG. Their marriage record cites that they were married 22 Jun 1905 in Belle Plaine, Scott, MN. The witnesses that signed for them were Arnold OLDENBURG (most likely Maria's brother Arnold) and Edward KEPP.
I'll try to go through and make sure I have all updates posted and try to remember to keep up with posting the new information I gather.
