After his death on September 13, 1954 in Norwalk, Connecticut, the ownership of these materials passed to his widow, Ellen Norlen Booth. Mrs. Booth maintained custody of the materials for some time but, owing to the lack of proper storage facilities in her own home, decided to deposit the bulk of her husband's personal papers and many of his drawings, paintings, and sketches, with James' son, John M. Booth, who had ample climate-controlled space for preserving the collection in his residence.
