BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Ernest “Ernie” F. Stites was born June 3, 1899 in north Idaho. He worked for the Pocatello Tribune, predecessor to the Idaho State Journal, from 1931 through 1950 as telegraph and sports editor, and then served as bureau manager for the Salt Lake Tribune from 1950 through 1962. Stites served as a staff writer, columnist and editor for the Idaho State Journal for ten years beginning in 1962, and was responsible for the columns “Ernestly Yours” and “Travel Topics”. He retired to part-time status in 1972.

Ernie was an avid outdoorsman and ardent supporter of wildlife programs. His love of the outdoors is evident in his photography. He photographed many scenic and rugged places throughout Idaho, the American West, and Alaska.

He followed Idaho State University and other local sports closely. He and his brother, Hayden Stites, were instrumental in the creation of the Bengal Gridiron Club. Stites also organized and served as the president of the Pioneer League Baseball Writers Association, and was the official scorekeeper for the Pocatello Cardinals.

Ernie married Catherine “Katie” E. Buckinaw (varied spelling, Buchenau) on June 17, 1932. Mrs. Stites worked at the Idaho State Journal for many years as well, in the circulation department.

Mr. Stites passed away on July 21, 1973 at the age of 74 in Pocatello, Idaho. His wife, Katie, lived a long life and passed on June 8, 2002.
