MY GRANDFATHER'S GRANDFATHER WAS CHARLEY PITTS. HOW INTERESTING THAT AFTER ALL THIS TIME, OUR FAMILY SKELETONS ARE COMING OUT OF THE BASEMENT!! Our family had been told a med student had taken the body and used that his (Charley Pitts') skeltal remains were in a Dr's office. His ear used to be on display the museum in Dodge City Kansas. Following the Northfield Raid, Cole Younger went to prison and wrote a book about the adventures of the Younger brothers and the James' gang. Cole himself delivered a copy of this book to Charley's widow and my family still has possession of the book.
