There is no mention in the provided texts of an angel specifically by James White's grave. The texts do describe angels present at Jesus's sepulchre and Christ with angels calling forth Moses from his tomb, but not at James White's grave.
Regarding James White, the scriptures and references reveal that:
Ellen White deeply missed James White, her husband, and expressed profound grief during his illness, pleading with God for his recovery.
When James White was dying, Ellen White pledged to continue the work they had carried forward together, and she expressed that she would not want him brought back from his peaceful slumber to engage again in the battles of life. She would look with pleasure upon his resting-place.
Like a tired warrior, James White lay down to sleep. He suffered intensely from incessant labor, which nearly carried him to the grave.
Ellen and James White were married on August 30, 1846, and he considered her his "crown of rejoicing".
A separate account mentions an angel walking with James White through an angry mob during his life, not at his grave.
The Bible assures us that God's people are safe in His hands, and in patience, they are to possess their souls Psalm 46:10.
