Studio portrait of two small children with an infant. There is a caption written at a later date, probably by Cumberland County Historical Society staff, that identifies them as the children of Indian School staff members (and former students) Richard Davis and Nellie Aspenall Davis. That makes the two small children Richenda and Mary Davis, who also appear in other photographs. The infant is probably Esther Davis, who was was born in 1892.
Richenda and Mary were not enrolled as students.
