No, William Howard Taft was the only former US President to sit on the Supreme Court.
James Garfield, the 20th US President, was in office from March 4, 1881 until September 19, 1881, the shortest term ever served in that capacity (Except for William Henry Harrison, who died one month into his Presidency).
Garfield was assassinated by Charles J. Guiteau, who was disgruntled over being unable to obtain a federal post. On July 2, 1881, Guiteau shot the new President twice: one bullet grazed his arm; the other lodged in his spine, and was unable to be located. Garfield succumbed to his injuries on September 19, 1881.
