Marie Malm's Photos: "In Närpes Auntie met Marie Rosenback..."

One day in late July, in the handwritten diary, Linnea Gord wrote that "Auntie went to Närpes".  That trip has more explanation in this letter – (Linnea Gord wrote letters home as well as her diary):

Jeppo, Finland / June 18, 1930
I'm in Jeppo now waiting for everybody to get ready for the concert.
We've seen quite a few relatives now.  In Närpes Auntie met Marie Rosenback (Lågas) at a place where we had coffee.

Among the formal portraits from my mother, Linnea, one is labeled on the back Mother’s cousin Marie in Närpes. 
Photographs of Marie Rosenback and her family at their home are only labeled on the back, mother's cousins in Finland. 
After some study of photos, although some years have passed after the portrait, the young couple in the portrait are the couple who age-progress to Marie Malm's photograph in 1930. They are Marie Rosenback and her husband.

Clues on the Portrait, the photograph, in the diary, and in the letter combine to tie to a Finland genealogy namelist for the names of the people in the photograph.
