James established a coal and salt businees, pumping brime from wells along the
river to extract salt and bromine. His furnaces boiled the salt and bromine from
the brime and also operated a copper mill to make barrels for the shipment of
his salt and bromine. On one occasion James' workers went on a strike. They set
a fire which they believed would bring him out of the house and then they
intended to shoot him in the back. When James didn't appear, the strikers
gathered around the house with James and his daughter Martha standing
back-to-back on the porch, protecting one another until the strikers gave up and
left the premises. The strikers did come back and poisoned the WADDELL's
Newfoundland dog.
James Alexander WADDELL was considred the most wealthy man in Mason City and was
often referred to as "Captain" or ""Quality." Later, due to entering into a
partnership with a bad partner, James lost his business. He spent his last days
in a family hotel in Cincinatti with his daughters.
