From brief online research on some of the sets of siblings - hopefully correct:

The Burr children were the offspring of Adoniram and Susan (Kennedy) Burr. There was another child, Lloyd Adoniram Burr, but he was too young to be in school at the time of this souvenir.

The Harriman children were the offspring of Albion and Lillian E. (Kennedy) Harriman. Interestingly, Susan and Lillian Kennedy were sisters.

The Loring children were the offspring of Joseph Mitchell and Phoebe (Manchester) Loring of Hancock and Penobscot counties. Their grandfather was the noted Frank "Big Thunder" Loring.

The other family with 3 or more children at the school was the Ogden family, and I can't seem to find anything on them.

If you have information on any of the people mentioned on this souvenir, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
