I don't believe this either. If that whole family is dead, they must have all died at the same time, and with them all clearly being different ages ranging from kids to the mother and father looking around fifty something years old, it seems so highly unbelievable that they're dead, unless they died in some sort of serious injury sustained accident, but their bodies all look intact with no visible marks of injury. And the older kid on the back left has a look of life in his eyes, and the mother's smiling, even though the young woman on the right looks questionable (she's probably not well since illness and diseases like smallpox were still rampant back then). I will have to go with their reasons for looking lifeless is due to having to sit still for a long period of time to get their photo taken combined with people simply being less happy due to harder times and more diseases running amok back in the 19th century.
