True Republican, 25 May 1912

Albert S. Kinsloe, who was a gallant soldier in the Civil war, and for 20 years an efficient county officer, and who had a wide acquaintance and thousands of friends in DeKalb county, died at his home in Sycamore on Thursday afternoon, May 23, 1912.

Capt. Kinsloe had been in poor health for the last two or three years. Much of the past winter he had passed at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Underwood, at Beatrice, Neb. He returned several weeks ago to his home in Sycamore. It was evident he was steadily failing in strength, and that he could not long survive. Although Mr. Kinsloe was very weak, he suffered little.

Albert S. Kinsloe's life record began in Huntington county, Pennsylvania, in December, 1840, his parents being Dr. Lemuel and Isabella (Thompson) Kinsloe. The family comes of Scotch ancestry and was founded in America by James Kinsloe, the grandfather of our subject, who was a native of Scotland. Dr. Kinsloe was born in Pennsylvania, in 1808, and became a practicing physician. He removed from Huntington county to Juniata county, Pennsylvania, about 1845, and in 1854 came with his family to DeKalb county, Illinois, settling at Ross Grove in the spring of that year. Here he practiced his profession continuously and successfully until 1859, when he removed to Earlville, Illinois, where he died in 1870. The family numbered four children, of whom Albert S. is the eldest, the others being Allen G. and Clara T., both now deceased, and Harris E., residing in Corsicana, Texas.

Albert S. Kinsloe spent his early boyhood in Huntington and Juniata counties, PennsyJvania, and was a youth of about fourteen years when he accompanied his parents on their removal to Illinois. He continued his education in the public schools of DeKalb county and in the academy at East Paw Paw, Illinois. He afterward engaged in clerking at Earlville, this state, being thus employed at the time of the outbreak of the Civil war. He offered his services as a defender of the Union, enlisting on the 26th of April, 1861, as a member of Company D, Twenty-third Illinois Volunteer Infantry. The regiment was captured by the forces under General Price, but being ill at that time Mr. Kinsloe was not taken prisoner. The regiment was released on parole and was sent to Benton Barracks, Missouri, where it was discharged.

Mr. Kinsloe then returned to Earlville and on the 26th of November, 1861, again joined the army as a member of Company D, Fifty-third Illinois Infantry.

After the fall at Atlanta, Lieutenant Kinsloe was detailed on the staff of General Potts, as acting assistant adjutant-general, First Brigade, Fourth Division, Seventeenth Army Corps, in which capacity he served until he was mustered out March 31, 1865. Enlisting as a private, he was promoted to second lieutenant to take rank from August 6, 1863, and to captain, January 31, 1865.

When the war was over Capt. Kinsloe resumed the pursuits of civic life, being engaged for a time in the grocery business at Earlville and later at Neponset, Bureau county, Illinois. In the fall of 1868 he removed to Malta, Illinois, residing there until he became a resident of Sycamore in 1892. At Malta he was engaged in the produce business and was also agent for the American Express company. In 1873 he was appointed postmaster of the town and acted in that capacity for thirteen years. He was also a member of the school board for twelve years and acted as it's president a part of that time. In 1886 he was elected county treasurer, serving for a term of four years, and in 1890-94-98 and 1902 was elected county clerk, in which capacity he served for four successive terms, sixteen years, proving a most capable official. He received the nomination by acclamation for 1894 and again in 1898, thus receiving stalwart endorsement from his party.

On the 29th of December, 1865, occurred the marriage of Captain Kinsloe and Miss Caroline W. Cook, a daughter of Nelson and Lucretia (Ives) Cook. She survives with their daughter, Nora B., wife of C. P. Underwood of Beatrice, Nebraska, who is a wholesale cigar dealer. They have seven children living.

Capt. Kinsloe was active in several societies. He took much interest in the Grand Army of the Republic. He also belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Masonic lodges.

During his residence of more than half a century in DeKalb county, he witnessed a wonderful development of the material resources and many changes in the inhabitants, but old friends and new, all united in their sincere regard for this patriot, faithful and conscientious public official, public-spirited citizen, kind friend and good companion.

The funeral services will be held at the home on West Exchange street at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, and will be in charge of Potter Post, No. 12, Grand Army of the Republic. Comrade Rev. E. S. Holm will officiate. The remains will be interred in Elmwood cemetery in Sycamore.
