On June 9, 1882, the Brooklyn Eagle reported that a woman named Annie Boyle (a tattooed lady) showed off her tattooed arms and upper chest on a ferry and
offended some guy with high moral standards, who got her arrested.
Later that year, her husband divorced her.
There were two well-known tattooed ladies in 1882. Nora Hildebrandt and Irene Woodward. Irene debuted in March of 1882, and Nora shortly before or after.
Annie Howard showed up as a tattooed lady in 1885, seemingly out of nowhere. Did Annie Boyle hook up with Frank Howard sometime between (or before!) the divorce from Mr. Boyle in Nov. 1882? Did Annie Boyle become Annie Howard?
Guess I'll be at the public library this weekend digging through Ancestry.com.
Annie Boyle sounds like she might have been fun to hang out with.
