He married Eva Pittman, the daughter of William W. & Angeline Underhill Pittman, on August 15, 1904 in Lincoln County. At the time of the marriage, a few eyebrows were probably raised in Lincoln County, since the traditional year of mourning had not been observed, before the second marriage, and because his new bride was 42 years his junior.
The marriage appears to have been a happy one. At the time of Mr. Smith's passing, the couple had been married for 21 years. James and Evie were the parents of Joseph, Mattie, John and Robert Smith.
