JAMES WARREN STITT, M. D., has been a resident of California for the past eight
years, and of Vacaville for seven years. He was born near Carlisle, Kentucky, in
1854. His parents, William J. and Mary (Bradley) Stitt, were also natives of
that State. Graduating at the Versailles Academy, in 1872, he commenced the
study of medicine under the preceptorship of Dr. Daniel Drake Carter, one of the
best known physicians of Kentucky. After studying with him until after 1878, and
at Bellevue Hospital Medical College, of New York city, he graduated at that
institution and immediately commenced practice in company with his former
preceptor at Versailles. Finding his health somewhat impaired at the end of
three years, he went to Las Vegas, New Mexico, and took charge of the Railroad
Hospital at that point; but, not liking the situation, he proceeded to Ysleta,
Texas, where he passed a year and a half in the practice of his profession. Next
he spent a year in San Francisco, where he found the climate unsuitable to his
condition, and then he came on to Vacaville, where he has built up an extensive
practice. He is a member of the State and County Medical Societies, of the
Solano County Board of Health, of Landmark Lodge, No. 41, F. & A. M., of
Versailles, Kentucky, and of Vacaville Lodge, No. 83, I. O. O. F. He is also
interested with three other gentlemen in a fruit farm of eighty acres in Capay
Valley, set out in peaches and apricots, not yet in bearing.

  Dr. Stitt was married in 1880, to Miss Jennie Stevenson, a native of Vacaville
and a daughter of Colonel A. M. and Mrs. Maria (Gardner) Stevenson; her father
is a native of Versailles and her mother of Arkansas. Dr. Stitt has one child
living, Annie Elizabeth, born in January, 1889. One child, Marie, died at the
age of two years, in 1884. Dr. Stitt's parents are now residents of Vacaville,
his father owning a fruit ranch of twenty acres adjoining the town.
