The Holy Bible, Philadelphia November 7th, 1803; Old Testament Title page has same date: John A Applegate born May 23d 1818 Mary J Wilson April 1st 1818 Married Oct 18 1842 OFFSPRING Elizabeth Applegate Born Dec 11th 1843 Joseph Edgar Applegate Born Oct 19 1854 Died January 16th 1880 John A Applegate Died Sept 8th 1898 Mary S Applegate died April 13 1901.
Biographical And Genealogical History Of Wayne, Fayette, Union And Franklin Counties, Indiana p 827: John A. Applegate was reared to honest toil on the farm, received a good education and taught school a number of years. October 18, 1842, he married, lived one year at Scipio, and then came to this location, settling on a farm, where he spent his life. He was very active in the development of the county, including the Mount Carmel school, which sustained a high reputation. He also was instrumental in the erection of the Mount Carmel Presbyterian church, of which he was an active member. Grange hall also was partly built by his efforts, at the same place, as well as being foremost in the management of the Mount Carmel Cemetery Association. In Grange work he was ever active; he was its master of the Pomona and the chaplain of the Indiana State Grange for many years. He was an elder of the Mount Carmel Presbyterian church for a long period. He was a resident of Franklin county from 1823 to the date of his death, September 8, 1898, when he had reached his eightieth year. He ranked high as a farmer and was a man of honor and high standard of integrity, having the respect of all within the radius of his acquaintance. He was a loving husband and an indulgent father. His final taking-off was very sudden: his previous wish had been that he might pass away without suffering, and he died while at the table, without a struggle! Thus passed away one of the useful and prominent citizens of the county. His wife was the daughter of Joseph and Temperance (Golden) Wilson, both of New Jersey and of English descent. The family came to Indiana in 1830 and settled in Whitewater township, purchasing land, with some log buildings thereon, but scarcely any other improvement. He followed farm life throughout his days. His children were: Mary, our subject; Jane, who died single; Sarah, yet unmarried; Elizabeth, who also died unmarried; George; and James, who died in California. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Applegate were parents of two children: Elizabeth, yet single; and Joseph, who died unmarried. Mrs. Applegate and her daughter are members of the Presbyterian church. These surviving members of a highly respected pioneer family have merited and possess the respect and admiration of the whole community. The good influence of the lives of the families sketched in this memoir will be felt by succeeding generations.
Jno A and Mary S Applegate joined the Mt. Carmel Pres Ch July 15 1849.
