Hetson Baby (Unidentified Glass-Plate Image)

This image is identified only as the "Hetson baby," or maybe it's "Hitson."

I can't find much under either spelling. The 1910 Census shows a Florence Hitson who was born in 1906 living with her parents in Gary.

But early-20th-century conventions in babies' fashions were such that we can't even be sure this is a girl.
