Pioneer Residents Laid at Rest, Wednesday:
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Appleman

In the quiet shade of evening, Sunday, October 11 at 5 p.m. Mr. Appleman peacefully passed away, at his home in LaFarge. And just before dawn on Monday morning at 2 p.m. October 12, his beloved wife followed. There was only nine hours between their passing.

Alfred Edwin Appleman, son of Valentine and Emiline Appleman was born January 7, 1859, in the town of Clinton, Vernon county, Wisconsin and passed away at the age of 77 years, 10 months, and 4 days.

Those remaining remaining are his sisters Mrs. Eda Allen of LaCrosse and Mrs. Ida Maison of LaMar, Mo. One brother Marion passed away when a child.

Mary Permillia Perkins, daughter of Louis and Harriet Perkins was born March 20, 1863 in the town of Clinton, Vernon county, Wisconsin and passed away at the age of 73 years, 6 months and 22 days. She was the youngest of a family of nine children all of whom have preceded her in death.

They were united in marriage December 29th in the year of 1865 at Bloomingdale, Wisconsin. To this union eight children were born. Mrs. Essia Hall and Mrs. Ada Rumppe, of Cashton, Mrs. Nina Getter of Viroqua, Howard and Archie of LaFarge and Teddey of Janesville. Bessie, Edith and Ethel have preceded her in death.

Mr. and Mrs. Appleman's path in life was not always a smooth one as they were deprived of the parental love and care that was so much needed in childhood. Mr. Appleman's parents were taken from him by death when he was very small, and Mrs. Appleman's mother passed away when she was a small girl. Thus faced life's problems without mother's tender care.

In their early married life they bought a home and set up housekeeping, at what is now known as the Ludvig Melby farm. They were among the early settlers. Their home at that time was among heavy timber. They chopped out place for a cabin which was their home. Working early and late and willing hands and the help of their ox team, they cleared away the heavy timber and as years passed they made for themselves a comfortable home. They resided on this farm 17 years. They moved to Buckeye Ridge where they faithfully worked side by side for 35 years. With failing health and broken hearts they left the old home where they had toiled so many years and moved to LaFarge. Here they resided for the past 18 months.

They were both members of the U. B. Church of Dell for many years. Their faith in God was strong. They had been in poor health for the past two years, and wished many time that they might go together. God granted them their request.

Mr. and Mrs. Appleman were of sunny disposition with their doors ever open to friends and loved ones. They were always ready to help in time of need. Besides caring for their own family they cared for two little grandsons for five years, and Lorrain Gosling a dear litle girl made her home with them for two years.

Mr. Appleman's death came very sudden while sitting in a chair. Mrs. Appleman spent some time in the Viroqua hospital and was confined to her bed under constant care for the past ten weeks. She was patient during all her sickness. She was a member of the Dell Ladies Aid, the Dorcus Club of Buckeye Ridge and the Royal neighbors Lodge of Bloomingdale.

No task was ever so urgent no night too dark for them to lay aside their work to watch beside a sick-bed or help in any good cause. They leave to mourn their passing 6 children, 16 grand children, 2 great-grandchildren and a host of friends whose sympathy is extended the sorrowing Services conducted at Dell United Brethren Church of Wednesday at 2 o'clock. Rev. Peter Holmes officiated, family.
