The photographer's imprint is J L Skrivseth. Jacob Skrivseth had three children, Henning Duritz Skrivseth (Apr. 26, 1881), Maggie (Aug 1883 - ?), and Jay Beauman Lavanda Skrivset (who remained unmarried).
Son, Henning was also a photographer. He had two girls and a son. I think they might be the ones in the photo (given there are two girls and a boy): Margaret Helen Skrivseth (1917), Henning D Skrivseth (Dec. 5, 1918), Lois M Skrivseth (1922).
The "second" Maggie's Find A Grave Memorial# 38208010 has an obituary.
If the "Maggie" is the first one, she married a Mr. Anderson and lived in Fargo, ND (per http://genealogytrails.com/ndak/traill/obits.html which has the obit for Henning Sr.)
The first Margaret married Olaf Christian Anderson - he was the "founder" of Dakota Monuments, now run by a grandson and great-grandson and they can be contacted here:
This is one of the cutest old photos ever! Interesting that Hillsboro could support more than one photographer at that time.
