The photo of the house shown here is the Sidney N. Pinkston residence built in 1896. It is located about 3 miles south and 1/4 mile east of Radium, Kansas. The photo was taken on August 10, 2014, the day of the (90th) Pinkston Reunion which this year was held in the Senior Center in Radium. About 60 family members attended the reunion that day, most attending a tour of the grounds of the home officiated by Sidney's grandson, Milton D. "Bud" Pinkston, the 3rd generation to live in the house. Later that day many visited nearby Point View Cemetery where Sidney, his brother Leonard and their wives, and their parents are buried.
