AGED MAN FOUND DEAD IN BED THIS MORNING
---------------
WILLIAM APPLEGATE, OF THIS CITY, VICTIM OF HEART TROUBLE.
---------------
LIVED WITH MRS. EMMA COULSON
--------------
Discovery That He Had Passed Away Was Made by Her
at Two O'clock --- Leaves Two Sons and Two Daughters.
----------
William Applegate, 70 years old, was found dead in bed at two o'clock this morning at the home of his cousin, Mrs. Emma Coulson, with whom he had been living for the past few months. The discovery was made by Mrs. Coulson.
Mr. Applegate had been suffering for some time from valvular heart trouble and had been under the care of Dr. F. E. Ray and the latter signed the death certificate on the order of the coroner, who decided it was not necessary to hold an inquest.
After Mr. Applegate had lain down on the bed last evening he was troubled very much with a cough. Mrs. Coulson asked him to take some medicine, but he refused, and soon fell asleep with his clothes on. Mrs. Coulson also retired, and slept soundly until nearly two o'clock. As soon as she awoke she called to Mr. Applegate, but received no response, and when she reached his bedside found that he had been dead for some time.
The deceased had been living in this city for several years, but was born and reared in Hendricks township.
The body was taken from the Coulson home to the Stewart & Fix undertaking parlors, where it was prepared today for burial. The arrangements for the funeral will not be made until all the relatives have been consulted. The interment will be made in the Second Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
Mr. Applegate leaves two daughters, Mrs. Ella Means, of Columbus, Ind., and Mrs. Hattie Wortman, of this city.
He is also survived by two sons, Edward, of Indianapolis and Frank, of Scipio, Ind.
