Stites-128 and Stites-129 appear to represent the same person because: Information on Stites-128 is incomplete and mostly not sourced. Sourced info on Stites-129 overlaps on all points but date of death.

James Stites was born on Feb. 19, 1868 and died Sept. 12, 1933. He was my great-uncle (brother to my great-grandfather, Abner Edgar Stites). James spent most of his life in Charleston, Illinois. However, as a teenager (sometime around 1884) he went with his family in a covered wagon to Kansas. His father died in Kansas in March 1885 and the family returned to Illinois soon after. James married Martha Emmeline Toops in 1902 and they had two daughters, Beulah and Lucille.
