My paternal grandparents, James Robert Robbins and Josie Lee Hughes were married on the 21st day of August 1907 in Llano, Texas. This picture was taken on that day; I had it framed for preservation and hung it with some other favorite family photographs.
He was three days away from being 31 and she was a little over 18 years old. Until today I hadn't realized their age difference. They had been married almost 45 years when she died in 1952. I have been told he wore a little picture of her pinned on his shirt above his heart for quite some time after her death.
That is so sweet that he wore a picture of her pinned to his shirt.
