General Notes: Husband - Rev. John Walker Dinsmore, D.D.

---

He was educated at Washington College, and the Theological Seminary, Allegheny, and entered the ministry of the Presby­terian Church. He spent seven years in Wiscon­sin, six of them as pastor of a church at Prairie du Sac, and then accepted a call to the Second Presbyterian Church of Bloomington, IL. He continued as the pastor of that congregation (one of the largest and strongest in the State) for twenty-one years, up to September, 1891, when, owing to the ill health of his family, he was com­pelled to seek a milder climate. He accepted a call to the First Presbyterian Church of San Jose, CA, one of the strongest congregations on the Pacific coast.
