The Independent Register dated Thursday, January 19, 1933
Chas. Appley, Old Resident, Answers Call
Former Superintendent of Lake County Farm Is Dead.
Libertyville lost a member of one of its oldest families Monday afternoon when Charles A. Appley, 81 years old, passed away at his home, 740 North Milwaukee avenue. Death was from a complication of ailments, due to his advanced age. Mr. Appley had been failing for the past month, although he was able to be about as late as last Saturday. He was taken seriously ill Saturday night and passed away at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon.
Mr. Appley was born in Libertyville December 5, 1851, and spent practically all his life here. He was married in 1876 to Anne Salvin of Wauconda, and to this union were born two sons, Schuyler, who passed away in 1920, and Frank, who survives him. He was preceded in death by his wife, who died in 1915.
He is survived by one brother, E. F. Appley, of Libertyville, and three sisters: Carrie and Ida Appley, also of this village, and Mrs. Mary Boyes of Waukegan.
Throughout his life Mr. Appley was prominent in county and township affairs, although he never aspired to public office. He was known throughout the county through his work as superintendent of the county farm here, which post he held continuously for 38 years, from 1880 to 1918*.
He was known as a lover of blooded dogs and fine horses, and achieved some distinction as a breeder of these animals. His bloodhounds were in demand by police agencies in various parts of the country.
On his retirement from active work, he moved to the home on N. Milwaukee avenue, where he resided until his death.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the home with services in charge of the rev. John E. DeLong, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. Interment was made in Lakeside cemetery.
* There is an article on the front page of the Libertyville Independent dated March 21, 1918 detailing a scandal that led to his resignation from this position.
