Man in Petticoats Draws Maine Town's Curiosity
A Cooper’s Mills resident, Commander Janna Robbins of the local G A R post, is described as an esteemed man with a lifelong hobby of wearing women’s clothing. He dresses in full feminine attire at home and for social visits, while wearing masculine garments for public outings. His wardrobe includes multiple dresses, high-heeled shoes, corsets, long stockings, and meticulously starched garments, worn with an apron at the bench in his jewelry shop. His appearance contrasts with a strongly masculine face, mustache, and voice.
