  Notes	JOHN W. APPLEGATE, who occupies a pleasant and comfortable home near Noblesville, is one of the well known citizens of Hamilton County, for he has here made his home for many years. He was born Feb. 16, 1829, and is the son of Daniel and Margaret (Wise) Applegate. His father was born and reared on a farm in New Jersey, and remained at home until thirty years of age, when he went to Ohio. In 1825, he came to Indiana, locating in Indianapolis, where he followed farming. The following year he arrived in Hamiliton County, where he spent his remaining days. He was accidently killed at the age of forty years. His wife was born near Urbana, Ohio, and is now living in Noblesville, at the home of her daughter. Six children were born to Mr. And Mrs. Applegate, and all are yet living. The grandfather, John Applegate, was also a native of New Jersey, and was killed near Noblesville by a log falling on him when eighty-three years of age. He served in the Revolutionary War, and was also in the War of 1812. His family numbered seven children, of whom two are yet living. In the district schools our subject acquired his education, and upon the home farm spent the days of his boyhood and youth.. He was married on the 9th of October, 1853, to Miss Mary M., daughter of George and Catherine Ingerman, who were natives of Germany, and crossed the Atlantic to America when their daughter was about five months old. They settled in Pennsylvania, and in 1849 came to this county. Four years previous they had taken up their residence in Wayne County. Here the father passed away at the age of seventy-two, and the mother departed this life at the age of eighty-two. In their family were ten children, six of whom are still living. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Applegate has been born q family of children. George D., who was born February 14, 1854, wedded Mary Rockey, and has five children; Margaret, who was born May 19, 1862, is the wife of Harry Sapper, a farmer, by whom she has three children; Charles F., who was born February 11, 1865, was educated in the finest medical colleges of the land, and is now a physician of Indianapolis; David S., who was born January 25, 1867, is at home; Mary M. who was born June 29, 1869, is the wife of Charles Mitchell, a millwright, by whom she has a son and daughter; and Harry R., was born September 10, 1873. Valentine, William H., Andrew J. and Theodore R. are deceased. After his marriage, Mr. Applegate located upon the farm where he now lives. Only a small tract had been cleared, and for eight years he lived in a rude log cabin He then built a hewed log house, which continued to be his home until 1875, when he erected a commodious and substantial residence at the cost of $5,000. It is one of the fine homes of the community. The barn was built at a cost of $3,500, and other improvements have been made in keeping with these just mentioned. In fact, the farm is one of the best improved in the county. Mr. Applegate’s possessions stand as a monument to his enterprise and industry, for he started out in life empty-handed, and has acquired all that he has by his untiring labors. He and his wife attend the Lutheran Church. He cast his first Presidential vote for James K. Polk, and was a member of the Glee Club during the Clay campaign. He now votes with the Democratic party.
