From Albert James or James Albert LaRue Story:
In 1912, James, Florence, and young daughter Florence (1908-1994) appear in Haliburton, where he purchased property on South Lake and set up a sawmill. This property was eventually repossessed by the township in 1948, long after his death.

In 1921 (Canada Census), he and his small family are living in Guildford Township, Victoria. In August 1931, he is listed as living in Guildford at the time of his daughter Edith's death in Leamington.

James Albert passed away on April 13, 1935, at the home of his son Edward, in West Guildford. No mention was made of his wife Florence, so perhaps they were separated. According to his death record, he was to be buried in Maple Lake Cemetery, Haliburton. There is no grave marker, and some Cemetery records have been lost or destroyed.
