NOTE: You are seeing two obituary postings. One is published in The Tennessean: Nashville, Tennessee, 6 Feb 1909. The other is published in The Glasgow Republican: Glasgow, Kentucky, 4 Feb 1909...I wonder the connection to have the publication in a Tennessee newspaper.

Thank you to Sandi Evilsizer Koscak for transfer of memorial to me on 24 Apr 2018 (Per Dorothy Hare Wigginton)

==============================

NOTE: I'm leaving this information in this section as is. I posted this information when the memorial was transferred to me. I received an e-mail on 28 Aug 2018 with this message that I responded and changed the burial back to Glasgow Municipal Cemetery:

"Please move to Glasgow Municipal Cemetery - add 'unmarked grave' in note section. Please correct wrong info in bio. Also I will send some edits for you..

History of the Glasgow Municipal Cemetery
In 1873, (Barren County Deed Book 9 page 286 – heirs of Joel Depp) this cemetery was deeded to Clem Depp. In 1875 he transferred the cemetery containing 12 acres, including the Depp cemetery in section (FAVE 02-05), to the Odd Fellows Lodge #65. In 1904 the I.O.O.F. Glasgow Lodge #65 transferred the cemetery to the City of Glasgow. This cemetery is referred to as the "Odd Fellow Cemetery" in early obituaries and death records.

It is not to be confused with the Odd Fellows Cemetery located on Knob Road in Glasgow which is an African-American Cemetery." Contributor: Laura J. Stewart
===========================

NOTE: Previously list burial in Glasgow Municipal Cemetery. Changed due to information found on her obituary that ran in the Courier Journal which listed burial Odd Fellows Cemetery...The obituary that ran in the Glasgow Republican list Glasgow cemetery (this possibly doesn't mean it was Glasgow Municipal Cemetery, it might have referred to a Glasgow cemetery, which could have been a reference to a cemetery that was common in that time period. I have found early death certificates and obituaries did not always give the exact name of the cemetery. It would be a name common for that time. (24 Apr 2018 Spoke with woman at Glasgow Municipal Cemetery-She found no record of any "Applegate" buried in cemetery...Several years someone at cemetery said cemetery was sold years ago, to up date info was taken from headstones. City of Glasgow now owns the cemetery.)
