Quotations
1905
To save the time and labor of cutting the fallen trees into lengths for being drawn together by the oxen, they were often "niggered."
1909
I've seen those old settlers "niggar" the fallen logs--that is, they would build a small fire on top of the fallen logs . . . and keep it burning until it was burnt through.
