October, 1855 in Queens Co., NY (1875 NY State Census, supra [age 20, birthplace Queens Co.,, NY]; 1900 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn Bor., Ward 25, 2/430, Sheet 7A, 86/143 [October 1855, birthplace NY]. They were divorced. (1900 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn Bor., Ward 25, 2/430, Sheet 7A, 86/143).

      George L was enumerated with his parents and grandparents at Raymond and Myrtle in Brooklyn, NY, in 1850. He was 3 years old. (1850 US Census, supra).

      He was still living with his parents in 1870. He was 23, born in NY, and a fireman. (1870 US Census, supra).

      George L was living in his own household at 410 Bedford Ave., in Brooklyn, NY, in 1875. George L was 27, born in Kings Co., and a member of the Brooklyn Fire Department. Wife Lillie was 20, born in Queens Co.; and daughter Ellen A was two years and nine months old, and born in Kings Co. (1875 NY State Census, supra).

      George L appears in a few articles in the Brooklyn Eagle, mostly about the fire department. The last was an article listing candidates for the state senate. (Brooklyn Eagle, October 9, 1891).

      He was listed as an heir to his father’s estate in 1891 (Probate File of William R. Appelgate, Kings Co. (NY), December 7, 1941 [no file number]). He did not receive any specific bequests.

      1891 was a bad year for George. Not only did his father die, his wife sued him for divorce.

      THE APPLEGATE DIVORCE
      ---
      Counsel moved in the supreme court this morning for alimony and counsel fee in the divorce suit which Mrs. Lillias Applegate has brought against George L. Applegate. The couple were married on January 11, 1871, and have two daughters, 16 and 19 years old, respectively. Mrs. Applegate says that her husband is living with Mrs. Rose, at 332 Livingston street. Mr. Applegate works in the navy yard and gets $25 a week. Mirabeau L. Towns opposed the motion and denied the allegations made by the plaintiff. Justice Bartless reserved his decision.
      (Brooklyn Eagle, November 28, 1891, p. 6).

      His ex-wife Lillias was enumerated living alone at 522 Van Buren Street in Brooklyn. She was 44, born in NY, and a seamstress. (1900 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn Bor., Ward 25, 2/430, Sheet 7A, 86/143).
