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.

Studio portrait of George Conner (seated at right) and William Johnson [?] (probably standing at left). Both are wearing school uniforms.

Note: Previous cataloging interpreted the handwritten caption as "[?] Connor and W. Johnson." The identification of these as George Conner (who was 19 years old on arrival in 1890) and William Johnson (for whom no age was given when he arrived in 1890) is preliminary.
