He's probably the James "Paine" in 1910 Kit Carson County, 48, born in Iowa, farming, widowed, and living alone.

James claimed a quarter in section 4, 7S 51W in 1912.

(John F. Prine cash-claimed a quarter in section 26, 7S 52W in 1910 - Lincoln County, but only a few miles away from James.)

In 1920 James is in Palo Alto County, Iowa, 58, no occupation, uncle of either William R. Cudforth or Orileva L, both 27 born in Iowa. Orieva's mother was born in Indiana, so she's likely.
