Later Life and Death
After serving one term as governor, James declined to seek re-election and resumed his law practice. He married Emily Radcliffe Case, who had also lost her spouse, in 1941. In 1944, Governor Edward Martin appointed James to fill a vacancy on the Superior Court, on which he had previously served. However, he was narrowly defeated to remain on the court in 1944, losing to Democrat F. Clair Ross. He returned to Plymouth, where he practiced law and worked with local organizations for nearly thirty years.
James died at age 89, and is buried in Hanover Green Cemetery.

“Each dream finds at last its form; there is a drink for every thirst, and love for every heart. And there is no better way to spend your life than in the unceasing preoccupation of an idea—of an ideal.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“Thou hast made me, and shall thy work decay?
Repair me now, for now mine end doth haste;
I run to death, and death meets me as fast,
And all my pleasures are like yesterday.”
