Yiddish Signatures on 1881 Seta Municipal Elector's List

Of the 159 voters on the 1881 Seta Municipal Elector's list, 25 of them signed their name in Yiddish. Below is a scanned image of the page containing their signature. I have added a translation of the signature on the right hand side, which of course does not appear on the original document. Not included here are those who signed their name in Russian only or who were illiterate and had someone else sign on their behalf (in Russian). If one of these signatures just so happens to be your ancestor's, it's exciting to see that 130 years ago he literally left his mark for posterity.
