Notes - James Lee Huston was born in Cincinnati, Ohio to James A and Elizabeth Huston. Elizabeth's maiden name was Elizabeth Morgan Johnson. Both of James Lee's parents were born in Kentucky. Elizabeth was born in Johnson Junction, which is not on any of today's maps. Johnson Junction was in Fleming County. I believe that it is now called Flemingsburg.
James married Emma Cecilia Bachmann Howe in Kansas City, MO on Jan. 20, 1908. Emma was the adopted daughter of Frances R. Howe of Porter County, IN. (See Emma's bio on Find a Grave under Emma Price.)
The couple settled in Los Angeles, CA where they had two children, James Francis and Geraldine Cecilia. Emma kept house while James worked as a traveling saleman. On one Census, it says he sold shoes.
In January, 1922, James and Emma were divorced. The records are in Los Angeles County, D3058. James then married his housekeeper, a widow named Gertrude Johnson, in Venice, CA on May 27, 1922. On the marriage certificate, James' occupation is listed as, "a man of leisure." James was 53; Gertrude 45.
James Lee died in Los Angeles on Sept. 19, 1935 at 9:30 AM of heart disease, with a contributing factor of cerebral thrombosis. He had been ill from September 2nd.
As yet, I don't know where James is buried. His death certificate states that he was buried on September 21, 1935. The place of his burial is listed as the University of Southern California. The funeral director is listed as LA County General Hospital, and he was not embalmed. Could this mean that his body was donated to science? I just don't know at this time.

This is different than the one I received from Los Angeles County. This has lines of information crossed out. For instance, under "Birthplace of Father", "Maysville, KY" written. Then the Maysville is crossed out, leaving just KY. The same for his mother's birthplace, and James Lee Huston's current address. The same is true for the bride. - [S721] 1910 United States Federal Census, Ancestry.com, (Name: Ancestry.com Operations Inc; Location: Provo, UT, USA; Date: 2006;), Year: 1910; Census Place: Los Angeles Assembly District 73, Los Angeles, California; Roll: T624_83; Page: 13B; Enumeration District: 0192; FHL microfilm: 1374096.
