James, wife Gertrude and mother-in-law Lizzie Hooker are on the 1920 census in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co. IA, where his occupation is listed doctor in General Practice. James, Gertrude and their 4 children (Jean B., Julia Helen, Kenneth Allen and Phyllis Louise) are on the 1930 Census in Longmont, Boulder Co. CO where his occupation is listed as medical. James 2nd wife was Albertina Antonia Rosina BRUN they were married November 11, 1937, place unknown. James and Albertina had one child David.
