Biographical data
Name: Stapfer, John Homer  
   Also known as: Staffer
Born: 9 Feb. 1877
Died: 1959
 
Notes:
The American Chess Bulletin of Feb. 1905 (p.36) has 'H. Stapfer'. The History of the New Jersey Chess Association has 'H. Stapfer' everywhere except on p.47 where it has 'J.H. Stapfer' in the 1904 New Jersey Championship. However, on p.26, it has 'H. Stapfer' as winner of the same 1904 event. So 'H. Stapfer' is 'J.H. Stapfer'.
