    • The following biographical sketch was published in 1894:

           Edmund S. Lybarger, who for many years has successfully engaged in farming in Randolph County, has the honor of being a native of Illinois, for he was born in Kaskaskia, September 26, 1826. He is the fifth in order of birth in the family of Samuel and Mary (Taylor) Lybarger. His father's family came from Pennsylvania. Edmund lost his mother when he was only about eight years of age, and he was taken to live with Mr. Van Zant, of Chester, who cared for him until he had attained to man's estate. His educational privileges were quite limited, for during his youth his time was largely taken up with farm work.
           Attracted by the discovery of gold in California, in 1850 Mr. Lybarger crossed the plains to the Pacific Slope. He worked in the mines for nearly four years, and during that time made considerable money, returning to his Illinois home with $5,000. He remained here through the winter, and in the spring of 1855 again went to California, where he spent the two succeeding years of his life. In 1857 we once more find him in Randolph County, and since that time he has continuously engaged in farming. Purchasing wild land, he at once began its development and transformed the raw prairie into rich and fertile fields, which yield to him a golden tribute in return for the care and labor he bestows upon them. He has made many excellent improvements upon his place, and in fact it is complete in all its appointments, being numbered among the model farms of the county. The owner is now well advanced in years, but he still enjoys good health and manages his own property.
           On the 23d of December, 1855, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Lybarger and Miss Helen Richardson, daughter of Robert H. and Prudence (Tanner) Richardson. Her father came with his parents from South Carolina to Chester, Ill., at a very early day. The Tanner family originally lived in Kentucky. Unto our subject and his wife were born nine children, viz.: Mary; Robert R., of Arkansas; Esther B., wife of Dr. Dinsbeer, of St. Louis; Oscar W., of St. Louis; Commodore C., who died in 1888, at the age of twenty-one; Henry, who aids in the cultivation of the home farm; Lillian P., wife of Joseph Hickman, a farmer residing near Ellis Grove; Eleanor and Helen Maud, who are still under the parental roof.
           In politics, Mr. Lybarger has been a life-long Democrat and a warm advocate of the principles of the party, although he has never sought or desired the honors or emoluments of public office. He belongs to the Presbyterian Church, and his wife is a member of the Baptist Church. They are worthy people, whose well spent lives have won them many friends throughout this community.

           According to the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763–1900, an online database hosted by the Illinois State Archives, Edward and Helen received a marriage license in Randolph County, Illinois or where married on or about 23 September 1858.

    • According to the 1900 U.S. enumeration, the household at 814 Pine Street consisted of John Dinsbeer, a 62 year old physician and his wife, Esther Dinsbeer, age 38. They had been married for 8 years; Esther was not the mother of any children. Also living in the household was Alice R? Martin, a 25 year old, single, woman, working as a servant.

    • According to the 1910 U.S. enumeration, the household at 3640 Wyoming Street consisted of John Dinsbeer, a 73 year old physician and his wife, Esther Dinsbeer, age 47. This marriage was recorded as John's third and Esther's first; they had been married for 18 years. Esther was identified as the mother of six children, four of whom were still living.
           This number of children attributed to John and Esther's marriage seems to be in error. In the 1910 U.S. census, eight years into their marriage, they were living in a household without any children and Esther was identified in that enumeration as the mother of zero children. The six children referred to in the 1910 census may refer to the children born to John in his first marriage.
