From Story County Watchman October 12, 1900

This week Nevada has been called upon to mourn the loss of another aged citizen in the person of Alex Dinsmore. Mr. Dinsmore was one of the older settlers of this county and secured a competence in the farming in which he was engaged retiring some years since from active life, his age was 87 years. He leaves a wife and family of grown up children to mourn for him, since the last call has been made.
