LOTEN A. DINSMOOR
1870 - 1898
SGT. DINSMOOR DEAD
Secumbed [sic] to Typhoid Fever at Ponce, Porto [sic] Rico.
Warren's share of news from Porto [sic] Rico was most depressing. It came in the shape of a cablegram to Chas. Dinsmoor, Esq., as follows:
"Lote died Thursday, typhoid, letter follows.
(Signed) WINDSOR.
The above message arrived in Warren at 12:30 p. m. and rapidly spread until the whole town knew of the fateful tidings and expressions of sympathy and condolence for the bereaved parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Dinsmoor are heard on every hand, for the young man was very popular in Warren, having been born in the homestead now occupied by his parents on Wednesday, January 26th, 1870 making him just 28 years 7 months and 26 days old at the time of his death.
Mrs. Dinsmoor, his mother, is completely prostrated by the news and his father is nearly so.
L. A. Dinsmoor attended and graduated from the Warren High school, after which he attended Yale college from which institution he graduated with highest honors. For some years after his return from college he taught school in several places in this county, but the past two years until the time of his enlistment in the volunteer army he had devoted to the study of law and in which vocation he would have doubtless been successful, had he not together with a number of Warren's brightest young men responded to his country's call. Mr. Dinsmore [sic] was a sargeant in Company I before his enlistment in the volunteer army and held his position after the reorganization.
He leaves to survive him his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Dinsmoor, one sister, Mrs. C. M. Morris, of Lockport, N. Y., and one brother, Fred Dinsmoor, of Warren.
Hon. C. W. Stone this afternoon telegraphed the Secretary of War Alger, to have Sargeant Dinsmoor's body forwarded to Warren.
