General Notes: Husband - William Malcolm Dinsmore

---

He was a stanch Republican in his political views, and was a member of the school board. Fol-lowing in the footsteps of his ancestry he was a con-sistent member of the Presbyterian Church. Well-known in the community in which he resided, he was respected as a substantial and wealthy agriculturist, owning farms in both Hopewell and Canton townships-in all 435 acres.

He grew to man's estate on the family farm, which was occupied continuously for at least five generations. The old ancestral home, of brick construction, was built in 1810, and was one of the oldest residences in Washington County. The brick for the house was burned on the place in 1809. The frame work of the barn still standing in 1910, had been erected in 1818. Here William M. Dinsmore spent a happy life. He was a successful farmer and raised a large amount of good stock and was one of the leading sheep growers for many years, frequently owning 600 head at one time. He was a well informed man, having attended the country schools and also the high school at Buffalo and later kept posted on all current events of the country. He was a Republican in his political views and a liberal supporter of the Presbyterian Church of Buffalo village, which he served both as church treasurer and church trustee.
