  Notes	DAVID D. APPLEGATE, TOLEDO. DAVID DAILY APPLEGATE, a resident of Iowa for nearly thirty years, is a native of Jackson, county, Indiana, and the date of his birth is the 31st of October, 1829. His father Hezekiah Applegate, was a farmer, who died when David D. was sixteen years old. His great-grandfather fought with Washington under General Braddock. The subject of this sketch was the youngest child in a family of nine children, seven of whom grew up and six are still living. At seventeen years of age he came to Cedar county, Iowa; worked for different farmers for two or three years, and at twenty returned to his native county and taught school two terms. In 1851 he returned to Iowa and took up a “claim” in Tama county, twelve miles northwest of Toledo; worked his lands till the fall of 1854, when he moved to a place where Toledo now stands, he having been chosen county clerk. This office he held by reelections from May, 1853, to the 1st of January, 1869, making a faithful and efficient officer. While discharging the duties of county clerk Mr. Applegate read law at his leisure; was admitted to the bar in the autumn of 1868, and law practice has since been his business. After being alone one year he became the partner of L.G. Kinne, this firm (Applegate and Kinne) continuing from November, 1869, to December, 1876. Since the latter date he has practiced alone. His collecting business, as well as court practice, is excellent, and in all respects he is a safe, true and reliable man. He has been faithful to every trust confided in him. Mr. Applegate was a member of the county board of supervisors in 1869 and 1870; has been mayor one term, and member of the school board at sundry times, being quite active in educational matters and in whatever tends to the mental and moral good of the community. He is a communicant in the Congregational church, and a man of unsullied character. In politics, he was formerly a whig; latterly has been a republican. He is a Knight Templar among the Freemasons. He was married on the 5th of June, 1856, to Miss Margaret McLaury, of Benton county, Iowa. They have six children, three of whom are still living.
