Samuel Applegate Dies After Suffering Eighteen Days With Back Broke
The death of Samuel Applegate, who was seriously injured while
attempting to stop a runaway team on June 16th, occurred at his home in this
city on Tuesday morning. Mr. Applegate had suffered for eighteen days and death
came as a decided relief to the injured man.
It was on the afternoon of Thursday, June 16 when his family were at the depot
to meet Mrs. Applegate's mother, that he ran out from behind his house and in
doing so was right in front of the team that was too close to him to change
their direction and they knocked him for some feet. He was picked up at once
and every attention was given him. Dr. Melvin was called and stated that every
indication was broken and there was but little hope of recovery. On Friday,
Mrs. Applegate took her husband to the Deaconess Hospital in Great Falls in
hopes that something could be done for his relief and recovery. The doctors
found his back was broken in two places and there was nothing that could be done
to save his life. Mr. Applegate was kept at the hospital for about two weeks,
but apparently nothing could be done there that could not be done at the home
and last Friday he was brought back to Chester and taken care of at the family
home.
Mr. Applegate and family came here this spring from Washington and expected to
make their home here. The bereaved family consists of Mrs. Applegate, one son,
and three girls. The son being the oldest
of the children. Mrs. Applegate and the children leave today for
their old time home in Indiana where the burial will be made at
Cicero, where Mr. Applegate was raised and the family will make their future
home at Marian, Indiana, which is near to Cicero.
