I don't know who they are, but this is probably one of my favorite unidentified photographs. It was probably taken in the 1890s [see comments] and I'm guessing it was in southern Hancock or northern Adams County in Illinois. It was in the photographs of my great-grandmother (Tena/Trientje Johnson/Janssen Ufkes [1895-1986]).

Many of her photographs were identified. This one was not.
