lived in Kansas from 1854 to 1910. She
was in Lawrence during the Quantrell
raid, and later she moved to Cotton
wood Falls. Three years ago she made
a long visit to San Diego and finally
decided to make it her permanent
home. She purchased a cottage and a
small tract of several acres at La
Mesa. She also invested in San Diego
town lots; waited for a raise in real
estate, which came in few months
and closed out her lots at a handsome
profit and then bought some more.
A Saloon Row Started It.
But all this is but an incident and
the really big thing in Mrs. Pinkston's
life now is the work and help which she
can give to the sailors who come to her
port.

one day. where she was to be stationed
for some time. Many Of the sailors
