JOSEPH H. APPLEGATE (sic), EDITOR, ONCE SERVED ON EAGLE STAFF
Joseph H. Appelgate, 63, former Sunday editor of the Brooklyn Eagle who launched the Sunday Eagle magazine, a tabloid supplement in 1923, died yesterday in Good Samaritan Hospital, Suffern, N. Y.
Mr. Appelgate was born at 235 Lexington Ave. on Feb. 26, 1890, the son of a Fulton market merchant. He attended Public School 3 on Hancock St. and Boys High School.
Joe began his newspaper career as soon as he left Boys High, joining the New York World as a cub reporter in the Brooklyn office. At 18 he was the youngest staff man the World had ever employed. Three weeks after he made the World staff Joe scooped the Eagle on the awards of the 4th Ave. subway contracts.
SERVED ON MANY PAPERS
In 1916 he came to the Eagle as a reporter and space writer, assigned especially to the Federal Court.
Four years later Joe went with the Hearst Syndicate as assistant to Alexander Black, then editor-in-chief of three of the Hearst syndicates.
He returned to the Eagle in 1923 and produced the first issue of the Sunday Eagle Magazine.
In 1924 he became editor of the Saturday feature section of the New York Evening Truth.
