ranch, v.

[Kohl, Matthew]

My apologies, everyone.

That was an antedating for ranch, v. meant exclusively for Jesse.
Also, 1953 is a typo.  The legitimate date is 1853.

1953 _Milwaukee (Wisconsin) Daily Sentinel_ 24 Mar.   He is doing a
heavy mercantile business and is _Ranching_ on a most extensive scale,
having over 25000 acres of land.

As I said... there are no visible page numbers, but it appears that
this quote is on page 2, column 3.
