The names in the book are those which are being used to describe this image. Back row, left to right: Frank Pierce, Harry Kennedy, Ed Andrews, Martin Mattice, Amelia Chenvert, Laura Andrews, Miss Lizzie Cullen, Jennie Pettijohn, Lottie Tyler, Emma Pettijohn, Eliza Young, and Eliza Murray. Middle row, left to right: Carrie Pettijohn, Helen Brown, Tecla Schmahl (from 1860 census, but listed in book as Thecla Small), Alec Schmahl (in book as Scmmahl), Kate Stempel, Rose Scheuer, Amanda Young, Nellie Pierce, Harriet Myer, Daisy Kennedy, Mary Chenvert, Susie Pierce, Philomena Coursal, Grace Brown, Lillie Chenvert, Katherine Murray, and Louis Paquin.

NCHS owns at least five copies of this image: E1311, E6853, E7135, E7409, and one without a catalog number. E1311 is an original print of the photo. The remaining four are not originals. E6853 has a note from William Carey Brown on the back, as well as an attached list of names, some of which are not correctly spelled. The names on E6853 may not completely agree with those in the book. This situation needs to be examined in more detail.
