The caption on the Cumberland County Historical Society's copy of the image identifies them as "Crows from the Crow Agency, Montana, who entered the Carlisle Indian School in 1890."

Previous cataloging for this image interprets part of the caption scratched on the plate as giving a date of 1897.

Studio portrait of Richard Davis and his wife, Nellie Aspenall Davis, with their two daughters, Richenda and Mary. Richard and Nellie were former students who married at the school and became staff members. Their daughters were not enrolled at the school. 

The handwritten note reads: Richard Davis (Cheyenne)     Richenda - Mary       Nannie Davis (Pawnee)

The handwritten note on the reverse side reads: Married at Carlisle Indian School and living there. 1894. This note does not reflect that date the photograph was taken, which, due to the ages of the daughters, was probably around 1891.
