David Staggers and his wife, Phoebe Jane (Eakin) Staggers.
Handwritten inscription on back of photograph reads, "David and Jennie Staggers taken about 1875 or before." The photograph is actually a little later, probably taken in the 1880s; however, the identities are confirmed by photographs from related family collections.
Original, professional photograph from Roger & Guiher, Photographers, Waynesburg, Pa.
