1893 J. C. Cochrane married
Florence Neely October 11, 1893 in Josephine County, Oregon (Vol. 3, p. 423).
1895 Farmer J. C. Cochrane owned 240 acres in Hugo,
Oregon in 1895 that were on the main Applegate Trail.1 The 160-acre 1861
military patent by Davis/Heatt included most of the open wetlands of what would become the
J. C. Cochrane Ranch. The military patent and the ranchs location had a reason:
natural sub-irrigation for pasture during the winter, spring, and early summer. Naturally
irrigated pasture was crucial prior to pumps, electricity, and sprinkler irrigation.
