    Notes 
    • 5D4C7A5 BR1A5 (5D4C7E) Charles Edward Applegate, b. abt 1857, in Kings Co., NY (NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn, 11th Ward, p. 8, 22/64 [age 13, birthplace NY]; 1875 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 11, Elec. Dist. 4, p. 17, 81/186 [age 19, birthplace Kings Co., NY]; 1892 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 7, ED 6, p. 13 [age 35]; 1900 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 24, 2/416, Sheet 19B, 218/409 [August 1863, birthplace NY]; 1905 NY State Census, Kings Co., ED 11, AD 4, Block A, p. 3 [age 43]), d. 14 Feb 1931 (Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Feb. 15, 1931, p. 19); bur. Greenwood Cemetery. He married (1) Nellie T _____, b. abt 1860 (1892 NY State Census, supra [age 32], d. _____. He married (2) Irene Simpson, b. Jul 1867 in NY (1900 US Census, supra [July 1867, birthplace NY]; 1905 NY State Census, supra [age 39, birthplace US]), d. 14 May 1918 in Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY (Probate File of Irene Applegate 1918-07-17, Kings County (NY) B. 506, P 233)

      He was enumerated in his parent’s household in 1870 and 1875. In 1875, he was a clerk in a commissions house in New York.

      In 1879, Charles E. Appelgate was a florist doing business at 13 Putnam Ave., Brooklyn, NY; and living at 17 Cambridge Place. (1879-80 Lain Brooklyn City Directory)

      In 1892, Charles was enumerated in Brooklyn, living either with or next door to his father. (The 1892 NY State Census does not group people by buildings or households). Charles is 35 and a florist. Listed next to Charles is Nellie Applegate, age 34; and after Nellie, Edwin Aplegate, age 70. Edward was enumerated as “Edwin” in the 1870 US Census, and this “Edwin’s” age matches Edward’s from other sources. (1892 NY State Census, supra). I believe Nellie is Charles’s wife.

      In 1897, Charles E. Applegate was a florist doing business at 15 Putnam Ave., Brooklyn, NY; and living at 53 Putnam Ave. (1897 Lain Brooklyn City Directory).

      In 1900, Charles Applegate and his wife Irene were living at 667 St. Marks Ave., in Brooklyn. Charles was born in August, 1863, and a florist; wife Irene was born in November 1871. They had been married 16 years and had no children. I am at a loss to explain the age discrepancies in this census. In spite of these discrepancies, I believe this is the same Charles Applegate due to his rather rare occupation as a florist. (1900 US Census, supra).

      In 1905, Charles E Appelgate lived at 426 Grand Ave., Brooklyn, NY. Charles was 43 (again, the strange age discrepancy), and a florist. Irene was 39. Living with them were Charles’s mother-in law, Elizabeth Simpson, age 59; and his sister-in-law, Edna B Simpson, age 24. (1905 NY State Census, supra).

      Irene died testate on May 14, 1918 in Brooklyn. Her probate file names a brother, William H Simpson, which gives us her maiden name of Simpson. Her simple will left everything to her husband Charles E Appelgate, and named him her executor.

      Charles died on February 15, 1931. I do not believe he had any children.
