hood days. Mr.. Pinks Is son OF Jona-
than G. Pinks, who kept hotel in the
early sos in the house now occupied by
M. A. Smith at the borough. On selling
out the hotel his parents moved to this
village, living in the little house that

room for the Riverside boarding house.
During their residence here his father
was engaged in the manufacture of stoves
