Notes:
OSCAR APPLEGATE, a well-known farmer and stock raiser of Noble township, is numbered among the substantial citizens of his section of the county. Mr. Applegate was born on November 27, 1852, on the farm where he now lives, and he is a son of John and Ann (Kerr) Applegate, the former a native of Ohio and the latter of Fayette county, Indiana. John Applegate was brought by his parents to Fayette county, Indiana, in his boyhood and there he remained until 1845, when he cam to Rush county, locating on the farm now occupied by the subject of this sketch. Here, in addition to farming the land, he followed his trade, that of a wagon, buggy and carriage maker, in which he won considerable renown for the high quality of his work. In 1855 he won a silver cup at Louisville, Ky., for building the finest carriage that was exhibited there that year. He died in 1870 and was survived may years by his widow, whose death occurred in 1894. They were the parents of two children, Oscar and Rhoda. Oscar Applegate received his education in the common schools of Noble township, and after completing his studies he remained on his father's farm and, after the death of the latter, acquired title to the place and has continued to reside there to the present time. The farm comprises 227 acres, all in one body, and here Mr. Applegate has been engaged in general farming and stock raising. He puts about forty acres to corn, the same amount to small grains and also gives some of the land over to pasturage, keeping a herd of fifty sheep the year round. He also feeds from fifty to sixty head of sheep annually. In 1882 Mr. Applegate was married to Nan Blacklidge, the daughter of Martin and Augusta Blacklidge, and they have become the parents of four children, namely: Arnest, who married Hazel Murphy; Rhoda, who became the wife of Clarence Kinner and they have one child, Marcellus; Arthur and Charles are deceased. Politically, Mr. Applegate gives earnest support to the Republican party. Personally, he is a man of may splendid qualities of character and is deservedly popular in the community.
