General Notes: Husband - William Wilberforce Dinsmore

---

He first settled on the old family homestead, two or three years later purchasing a farm in Hopewell township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. It contained 172 acres, and was known as the best farm on the Washington and Wellsburgh roads. In 1875 he purchased 168 acres in another part of Hopewell township, and both farms were improved and cultivated to the utmost extent. He was a great admirer of fine horses, devoting much attention to raising them. For many years he was a teacher in the Sabbath-school, and he also served many years as a church trustee, contributing liberally, as well, to the support of the cause. He was an intelligent man, a great reader and a close student of current events, and was always energetic and thrifty.
He and his wife both united with the Upper Buffalo Presbyterian Church in early youth, taking an active part in both church and Sabbath-school work.
