  JOSEPH W. DINSMOOR, who is engaged in the automobile business
at Derry, Rockingham Co., N. H., was born in Windham, N. H., in 1862, a
son of Joseph and Cordelia (Bean) Dinsmoor. The father of our subject
was born in Windham in 1833 and was engaged in farming an his life. His
father and two previous generations were also born there, the immigrant
ancestors of the Dinsmoors settling in that town, which was then known 
as Londonderry. In the town of Windham there stands a tablet erected to 
his memory, on the birthplace of Gov. Samuel Dinsmoor, who was a 
brother of the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch.
  J. W. Dinsmoor, of the present generation, was reared and educated in
the common schools of Windham and, after his school days were over, 
took up farm work and also engaged in the fruit business, in which he 
was occupied for some twenty years, buying and selling many thousands 
of barrels of apples, mostly in New Hampshire and Maine. A year ago 
(1913) he sold out his place and came to Derry, where he engaged in the 
automobile business, handling the King and Chevrolet machines. He has 
made a good start in the business, and is now occupying a capacious 
building on Crystal Avenue, which he erected in 1914. A man of good 
business ability, energetic and farsighted, he is bound to achieve 
success in his new field of effort. That he has the confidence of his 
fellow citizens is shown by the fact that he served for eight years on 
the board of selectmen while a resident of Windham. Mr. Dinsmoor was 
married in 1890 to Miss Mabel N. Bean, a daughter of I. W. Bean of 
Derry, N. H.
