James Julio Bento was
a judge on the Wareham District Court (4th District in Plymouth

at 441 (or 141) Twelfth Street in Onset, Wareham, MA. He was an overseer of a cranberry bog for the
Smith Fuller Hammond Company in Carver, MA. His mother was his contact person
and she lived at the same address. By
1928, he had gotten married to a woman named Flora and was now a lawyer. When searching through the 1930 census, there
was a James Bento living in New York; he was married (m. ca. 1926) and was
working as a steamship cook. In 1940,
James was living in Wareham with his wife, Flora S. (b. 1905, d. 1986), and his
children; his brother Antone was also living there. A directory record was found that showed Julio
Bento, Antone, and James lived in the same household in Wareham in 1935. James died in 1980 and is buried in the
