Gass, James Johnson
Notes
Note
Son of James Gass and Mary Jane Dyment.
James Johnson Gass was born in Queens County Prince Edward Island on May 29 1884. He was a tree climber at the time of his marriage. Mary was the daughter of John Giles and Sarah Conley (second marriage for her). From census records, they don't seem to have had any surviving children.
He was a chauffeur or driver in later records. He was 5'10", with brown hair and gray eyes.
James was alone in the 1937 Cambridge directory, and could be the James Gass who died in Cambridge in 1939. He and his wife were not in the 1940 US census.
When he applied for American citizenship, he was described as being 5'10" and 175 pounds, brown hair and grey eyes. He gave much the same description on his WW1 registration form, except he said his eyes were brown.
