The quality of the photograph makes it impossible to identify others with certainty, although it has been suggested that the man to the far right with a hat is George Miller, and that the woman behind Ellen Carman is perhaps Margaret Hanna, a family servant who is buried with the Millers in the nearby family cemetery. The people to the left have not been identified.
