        Although somewhat of a recent acquisition to the ranks of Merced's 
attorneys, Ranse R. Sischo has won a name for himself and today ranks among the 
successful lawyers of the county, as well as representative citizens of the 
locality. He was born in Shelton, Wash., on August 1, 1892, a son of Abel and 
Frances (Willie) Sischo. The parents were married in New York and removed to 
Iowa; then in 1870 went to Missouri, from there to Nebraska, and in 1872, 
settled in the State of Washington, where both parents passed away.
        Ranse R. Sischo completed the grammar and high school courses in Long 
Beach, Cal.; then he took up the study of law in a private office and in 
November, 1921, was admitted to practice law in the. State of Nevada. In 1922, 
he came to California and settled in Merced, and having been admitted to the bar 
of California on March 17, 1924, he opened and maintains a law office in that 
city.
        Mr. Sischo was married on January 4, 1925, in Los Banos, Cal., to Miss 
Ethel L. Riedeman, of Santa Cruz. Politically he gives his influence to the 
Republican party; fraternally he is identified with the Independent Order of Odd 
Fellows Lodge at Long Beach. Mr. Sischo has become an enthusiast on the 
resources of Merced County and his public spirit and activity for the prosperity 
and welfare of Merced has won for him many friends and a well-established law 
practice.
