Notes:

James was the son of Robert January Huston and his wife, Kate Francis.

There are discrepancies as to his place of birth. I know that he was born in the state of Washington. During his life, James stated that he was born in Granville, Quinault and Tacoma.

His birth record at the Washington State Digital Archives states he was born in Granville, Washington, which at the time was in Chehalis County. I believe that the record, written at the time of his birth, is correct.

Another problem in writing about James is that there are variations in his birthdate. The date on his birth record at the Washington State Digital Archives says he was born on October 6, 1893. The 1900 Census states that he was born in October, 1893. However, his WWI and WWII Draft Registrations list his birthday as Oct 3, 1894. Two passenger lists also use that date. His California Death Index shows he birthday as being Oct 3, 1896. I think we can discount this record. So, was he born in 1893 or 1894? Was he born on the 3rd or the 6th of October? I think the year was 1893, as that is what his birth record says and what his parents gave to the census taker in 1900. As to the date, I would say that the 6th is probably correct. His father is the person who filed the birth with the county in Washington, so I believe he would know the date his son was born. I could be wrong, though!

Robert and Kate Huston separated in about 1905. Robert left the United States for Japan, taking his two young sons with him. James and his brother, Vance, attended St. Joseph's College in Yokohama. This was a school, mainly attended by foreign children, from kindergarten through secondary school.

Passenger records show that Vance returned to the United States in 1911. James is shown on the passenger list of the steamship Nile, departing from Kobe, Japan on August 6, 1912 and arriving in San Francisco on August 26th, with a stop along the way in Honolulu. The Nile was a British steamship, owned by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.

Kate Huston passed away in San Francisco in 1919 and Robert in Japan the following year.

Records on the Internet show that James attended college at Stanford University in California, the University of Chicago, where he was enrolled in 1917 when he registered for the WWI Draft. He graduated in 1921 with a degree in medicine from the University of Cincinnati.

In about 1918, James married Jennie H. Stout. They came to Caifornia where James established himself as a physician, specializing in eyes, ears and the nose. I can't find any record of any children born to them. They were divorced in about 1936.

A city directory in 1936 shows James living alone at 1526 Carol, in Burlingame, California. In 1937, James is living with a wife, Julia M. Huston. Either James and Julia were divorced or Julia passed away, because James went on to marry Shirley J Stefan on January 27, 1951 in Alameda County, California.

James made several trips abroad. Passenger lists show James and Jennie returning from the Panama Canal Zone in 1924. In 1926, they must have gone to Europe, as a record exists of Jennie returning on the Orbita, from Cherbourg, France, arriving on June 28, 1926. James came home on the Orca, departing from Cherbourg and arriving in New York on July 12, 1926. Why they came home separately is unknown.

In 1953, James and his third wife, Shirley, visited Italy. They returned on the Independence, leaving Genoa on May 26, 1953 and arriving in New York on June 3rd.

Sometime after they were married, James and Shirley moved to Los Angeles County, California. It was there that James passed away on July 15, 1960. He was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, next to his brother Vance, who had died in 1932.
