JAMES OTIS WATSON James Otis Watson was born on May 17, 1815, at Benton ' s Ferry, which was at that time in Monongalia County, Virginia. Liberally educated by private tutors and at a private school at Morgantown, he was a studious reader and, although never admitted to the practice of law, had a knowledge of the ap- plication of the principles of law to business affairs which was equalled by few members of the bar. Mr. Watson built the Fire Brick Kilns at Nuzums, and conducted the busi- ness for many years with the same success that followed his other industrial, mercantile and agricultural ventures. When the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad reached the Fairmont region, he, working with Governor Pierpoint, opened the first coal mines there. When these mines were worked out, the Gaston Mines were opened He continued as personal director until all the mines of the region were consoli- dated under one management.
