Jacob Sailer is standing in the doorway, and the two boys flanking him are probably his sons. Judging from their size they would be Edward (left) and Jacob, Jr. (right). The young man to the left of the picture is likely Fred Zehler, Jacob's nephew, who was also living in Buffalo in the about 1892.
