JACOB WATSON, a leading and influential farmer of Paicines, is a son of Jacob
Watson, deceased, a pioneer of California, of whom extended mention is made
elsewhere in this volume.

  Our subject was born, December 20, 1851, in Sacramento, and came to San Benito
county with the family. Since that time he has aided in making the name of
Watson one of the best known in the county, by his honesty and thrift. By
occupation Mr. Watson is a faamer, [sic] and is the possessor of 320 acres of as
fine land as can be found anywhere in the entire county. Mr. Watson is still
single, preferring the delights of freedom and bachelorhood, to the cares of
wedded life. Few farmers of California display the business ability, coupled
with strict integrity, evinced by Mr. Watson, the subject of this notice.
