General Notes: Husband - Robert S. Dinsmore


He was reared on a farm in Lower Burrell township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and attended the rural schools of that day and Freeport and Glade Run academies. He commenced life for himself by engaging in teaching, which he followed for twenty-eight years, during which period he taught thirty-one terms of school. In 1858 he taught one term at Latrobe, and was afterwards principal for one term of Parnassus academy. For twenty years thereafter he devoted his time largely to the management of his farm which contained one hundred and twenty-five acres of good farming land. He was a member and elder of Parnassus Presbyterian church. He was a democrat in politics and was elected four times as justice of the peace but only lifted his commission twice and served for two terms. At different times he held all of the township offices and served as a member of the township school board.
