Found this photo in a shop in Phoenix, Az.
Writing on the back reads “Mr. and Mrs J. G. Wiruth, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Wiruth. James died March 31, 1975”
This may be a James and Libbie’s Wedding Photo?
Info found on Findagrave says the following…
James G. Wiruth Born Jan 11, 1892 in Nebraska, Died March 30, 1976 in Topeka, Kansas

Hi, I found your site through “Tuesdays with Dorie”. You have a very interesting hobby.
I wanted to pass on to you an easy recipe for Pumpkin Spice and Chocolate cookies based on your comment from Dorie’s blog. Three ingredients, that’s it!
Spice Cake mix, 1 15 oz can of pure pumpkin and 1 cup of choc chips!
Mix all three ingredients, drop on a parchment paper lined pan, and bake @ 325/350 for 12 minutes. Easy!
I flatten out my cookies before I bake them. They are basically muffin top cookies. They freeze beautifully and make the house smell wonderful while baking.
Enjoy!

Thank you Karla! I will have to try it, I like simple recipes! We are from Cali ourselves, I lived in the Desert for 40 yrs in Cali, now onto the Phoenix desert. Thanks again!
Yes, possibly a wedding photo. Modest, but good clothes; posing close – but not too close; a discreet bouquet of flowers…a young couple of middle means.
Do you think he might have written her during the war? Did they get engaged before he went off to fight?
