Notes:

APPLEGATE, JOHN WALL, Attorney-at-Law, was born in Princeton, New Jersey, February 23, 1818. His father, engaged through life in agricultural pursuits, was an active participant in the war of 1812. He received a liberal general education at Genesee Falls, New York. He subsequently followed the trade of carriage making in his native state until he had attained his twenty-third year. He then pursued for about threwe years a course of literary study in Genesee Falls College, and upon graduation from that institution was appointed as one of its tutors, and was engaged in teaching during several succeeding years. In 1841 he removed to Ohio, and after applying himself for a time to the study of law under the instructions of Judge Timothy Walker, of Cincinnati-always his warm and intimate friend-began the practice of his profession in this city in 1844. from that time until 1874, the date of his demise, he was constantly and successfully engaged in professional labors. He always manifested a persistant aversion to office holding, his practice being too extensive, moreover to asllow him leisure for political operations. Through life he was noted for his zealous interest in the cause of educational reform, and for many years was prominentky identified with the actions of the local School Board. A love of family associations and domestic life characterized him socially; and at an early agehe became an earnest and devout member of the Methodist Church. For many years he was an esteemed member of the Wesley Chapel, of Cincinnati. Politically he was an uncompromising “Jackson Democrat,” but during the war of rebellion distinguished himself as an active opponent of that branch of the Democratic party, known as “the Peace Party.” He was a man of quick and generous sensibilities, fond of intellectual conversation, and possessed of a well balanced mind, stored with varied and valuable learning. He was married to Mary Williams, of Cincinnati. Six children were born of this marriage, and at the time of his decease the four youngest were living.
