Emily Jane Cooke Tomes and family

Emily Jane (Cook) Tomes in coffin surrounded by her children. Please help identify all the people in the picture. Emily Jane was supposedly full blood American Indian. Does anyone have proof of that, or other information about her family. I've heard her father's name was Levi Cook. Please help!

Who are the people in the picture?

Date & Place: at Tomes Homestead in Manchester, Coffee County, Tennessee USA

Emily Jane Cook Tomes died in 1906. I would imagine that the younger of her two daughters is on the top left. That would be Mary Susanna Tomes and the other daughter beside her would be Julia Ann Tomes. They were eight years apart in age. It’s a bit more difficult with the men in the photos without another photo reference. It could be figured out though. One son is not in the photo.

New to in depth genealogy. Trying to save as much family history as possible before the elders pass and it is gone.
Large and loud I guess is the best way to describe us lol.
