Albert Cashier lived as a man until 1913, when at the age of 69 and failing mentally, he was admitted to Illinois’s Waterville State Hospital for the Insane. When it was discovered that he was biologically a woman, he was forced to wear a dress until his death in 1915. Even though his secret was made public, his tombstone described him as “Albert D. J. Cashier, Co. G, 95 Ill. Inf.”
