National Archives, from collections of Carlisle Indian School materials housed at various archival repositories, and from a variety of published sources.

Studio portrait of Lillian A. Schanandore and Dollie Wheelock, both probably wearing school uniforms.
Note: Lillian A. Schanandore is probably the student known as Lillian Archiquette, who married John Schanandore and so was also known as Lillian A. Schanandore. However, a student named Lily Schanandore also attended the school. Both Lillian and Lily were there at the same time as Dollie Wheelock so it could be either one of them.
