Blanche Howell, KS

I say it's a boy.What a cutie.

Somebody's little love.

Love these old pictures.

Sweet little girl....Too bad they don't know how she's related....

A boy. Momma's styled little girls hair differently.

Yes I think this is a cure little boy the hands aren't so dainty as a girl love the boots

It was ludicrous to dress children as the opposite sex. Look where that lead to. Transgenderism is as demonic as the sin it creates. It is not cute!!

Looking at the eyes, i think it is a boy 🙂

The hair part would lead me to believe the child is a girl. Boys would likely have a side part.

She is a girl..She is wearing a necklace chain..

Boy...

Deff a boy

Boy.

She is wearing a Mourning chain.

Little grl

Girl!

Girl.

If the back of the picture says Blanche......a girl I'm guessing

I found a Blanche Howell in Topeka,Kansas, who was born in 1891, and died in 1907, which looks about right for this photo. It looks to be late 1800's. The photographer was George Downing, who was in Topeka, Kansas in the latter half of the 1800's and early 1900's. He died in 1908 in Topeka, Kansas. As for Blanche, I found her on findagrave.com, but there's no bio, and I can't find her on a family tree. There was another Blanche Howell who was born in 1880, but I couldn't find her on a tree, either. 1905 Census: family members, WH Howell, Age 48; Oscar Howell, Age 21; Vernie Howell, Age 15; Blanch Howell, Age 14; Arval Howell, Age 12. Blanch (if this is the same one) is buried at Ozro Falls Cemetery @ Hewins, Chautauqua Co, Kansas.

I would say a little girl. That look on her face says female to me. 😂

Goes to show how much we attribute to our gender roles expectations.

I go for girl!

My dad has that chain on his pocket watch!

Although little boys and girls wore similar clothing, even dresses, I think the necklace might be a hint that this is a girl.

Norma B. Martinez,
This is a very old picture, transgenderism didn't even exist, then. You're certainly entitled to your opinion but also know this: little boys were dressed rather girlie back then, it was tradition. This is a little girl. Your remark was not appropriate.

A girl. Her hair is a dead give away.

Yep, plus bangs on their forehead
