BYRER / BOYD / OTT Mary Boyd / Frank Campbell Ott BARBOUR CO; W.VA HUGH S. BYRER is a member of the Philippi bar, an expert title lawyer, and has done a great deal of professional business with the coal interests of the state. His grandfather and father were both men of prominence in Barbour County, and the name is therefore one of long and honorable standing here. Mr. Byrer, who is a native of Philippi, attended the public schools there, graduated in 1903 from the West Virginia Conference Seminary at Buckhannon, and in 1906 was given his LL. B. degree by the University of West Virginia. In the same year he was admitted to the bar at Philippi, but he soon located at Huntington, where he practiced law until the early spring of 1917, when he returned to his old home. While in Huntington he was for two years in the coal fields of Northeastern Kentucky, abstracting titles to coal properties in behalf of the Beaver Creek Consolidated Coal Company. That service was a valuable schooling to him in the matter of real estate titles. Mr. Byrer in politics, has always voted as a democrat. He was the democratic candidate in the Thirteenth Senatorial District for the State Senate in 1920. He has been active in several campaigns. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and has done much work in the Sunday school. He is affiliated with Huntington Lodge of the Elks. At Harrisonburg, Virginia, February 16, 1921, Mr Byrer married MISS ELIZABETH ROTHWELL OTT, a native of that locality, where she finished her high school education. Her parents were FRANK CAMPBELL and MARY (BOYD) OTT, also natives of that section of Virginia, farming people. Mrs Byrer, who is the oldest of a family of two sons and two daughters, is the mother of one son, Frederick Ott Byrer, born January 16, 1922.
