Hartwell stands to the far right of the back row. Caroline Chittenden stands behind the governor's wife. Ms. Pepoon of Whitman College from Washington State is also present. This photo is from the papers of Emily Susan Hartwell, an American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions missionary stationed in Foochow, Fukien from 1884.
