James A. Torrey (September 27, 1868 – August 14, 1954) was a Canadian-born American politician who served as Mayor of Beverly, Massachusetts, and as a member of the Massachusetts General Court.

Early life

Torrey was born on September 27, 1868, in Nova Scotia.[1] He moved to the United States as a young man and settled in Beverly, Massachusetts, around 1891.[2]

Political career

Torrey was a member of the Beverly City Council for seven years and the Board of Alderman for three. From 1919 to 1928 he was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. From 1929 to 1930 he represented the 2nd Essex District in the Massachusetts Senate.[1]

In 1930, Torrey was elected Mayor of Beverly. He defeated Matthew S. Heaphy with a plurality of 261 votes in one of the closest elections in the city's history.[3] In 1932, Torrey was defeated in his reelection bid by former Alderman Paul S. Eaton by 649 votes.[4] Two years later, Torrey won a three-way race for mayor, defeating Eaton and Daniel E. McLean with 4185 votes to McLane's 2863 and Eaton's 2419.[5] McLane defeated Torrey in the next election 5493 votes to 4493.[6]

Later life and death

A blacksmith by trade, Torrey also worked in auto repair, was treasurer of Cabot Welding Co. and the Lite-Rite Manufacturing Co., and a vice president and trustee of the Beverly Savings Bank.[1][2][7] After leaving politics, Torrey continued to operate blacksmith a shop until his death on August 14, 1954, at the age of 85.[2]
