Samuel DINSMORE, farmer and stock-raiser, was born February 8, 1834, in Ireland, and is the eldest of eight children born to John and Margaret (SMALL) DINSMORE, natives of Ireland, and of Scotch-Irish descent. Samuel was reared on a farm, and attended school when not otherwise employed, and in this way received sufficient education to enable him to teach. He taught three months. His parents came to the United States in 1838, and moved to the West, settling in Van Buren Township, about one mile north of where our subject now resides. They came by way of Pittsburgh by water to Louisville, where a wagon landed them in Monroe County in seven days. John DINSMORE purchased 160 acres of land and improved it.
Samuel remained with his father until his marriage, on October 10, 1859, to Magdalene HUTSINPILLER, of Monroe County, and a teacher. She is the daughter of Jacob A. and Susanna (BUNGER) HUTSINPILLER, Pennsylvanians of German descent. Miss HUTSINPILLER was educated at Bloomington, and taught in Indiana about three years, and in Illinois about one year. Mr. DINSMORE had born to him five children - John A., William J. (deceased), Margaret Lenore, Julia Frances and Mary Elizabeth. Mr. DINSMORE and wife also took a boy, George KROHN, from the Orphans' Home in Cincinnati, and are raising him as one of their own children. Mr. DINSMORE owns 200 acres of land, well cultivated, and ornamented with a
substantial residence, besides a barn and out-buildings. He received eighty acres from his father at his marriage. Our subject is breeding short-horn cattle and Berkshire hogs, and has followed this occupation for ten years.
