The matte has a studio stamp "Garver, Greenville, Ohio"
Further research shows this couple appearing in the 1880 US Census for Van Buren, OH. At that time, Joseph, a farmer, was 39 yrs old and his wife Malissa was 33. They had two children living at home, Harriet (5) and Elizabeth (2).
UPDATE - I have since determined that Malissa's maiden name was Van Winkle.
From FindAGrave.com I was able to collect the following information.
