KNOX COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Edina, Missouri, Friday, July 30, 1915
OLDEST CITIZEN DEAD
-WILLIAM APPLEGATE DIES AT HOME NEAR PLEVNA, JULY 20
Perhaps the oldest citizen in Knox County died at his home near Plevna, July 24, 1915. The man was William Applegate who had reached the very old age of 97 years, 4 months and 25 days.
The subject of this sketch was born in Youngstown, Ohio and came to Missouri about the year 1852. Soon after his arrival in this county he was married to Amelia McCoy who died after a few months of wedded happiness. On Oct. 5, 1854 he married Elizabeth Rice. To them were born six children, one and the mother having preceded him to the better land. Again on Oct. 13, 1875, he married Mary Jane Branic. To this union were born two children.
For 60 years Uncle Billy had lived on the farm near Plevna. He was a familiar and honored figure, a man of few or no enemies and who died at peace with God and man. To him came the wonderful calm and happiness consequent upon a well-spent life, the result of having done his duty so far as he could see it. For many years he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The funeral services were conducted at his church on July 21. Interment was made in the Hickman Cemetery.
His faithful wife, three daughters and four sons are left to mourn his departure. The confident hope of a heavenly reunion sustains them.
