WILLIAM APPLEGATE William Applegate, proprietor of the Hotel Monmouth, Asbury Park, was born in Freehold township, Monmouth county, January 23, 1843. His parents, Mathias and Margaret (Emmons) Applegate, were both natives of Monmouth county, where the paternal ancestors of our subject followed the vocation of farming. The boyhood days of William were passed on his father’s farm. He attended the common school at West Freehold. In 1864 he enlisted as a private in Company E, of the Twenty-eighth New Jersey Volunteer Infantry, and participated in the Battle of Fredricksburg. After being mustered out at the end of the war he went to New York and learned the butcher’s trade. He opened a meat market at Eighth Avenue and Fifty-fourth street, which he conducted successfully for seven or eight years.
In 1873 he located in Asbury park and oopened a general provision and butcher business. Fourteen years later he closed out this business and went to Belmar, then known as Ocean Beach, and became proprietor of the Surfr House, now known as the Melrose Inn. After conducting this hotel for two seasons he purchased the Atlantic Hotel in Asbury Park, and after spending some forty thousand dollars in improvements and additions renamed the hotel, calling it Hotel Monmouth. The hotel accommodates about three hundred guests and is open from June to October. It has a large clientage, representing people from all quarters of the United States and Canada.

MABEL IS WITH HIM
---
Asbury Park Hotel Man Gets a Puzzling Wireless From His Son
---
Asbury Park, N. J., July 26.--"Sailed Thursday on Le Bretagne. Mabel is with me. With love.
"CHESTER APPLEGATE"
The foregoing message came by wireless to New York and was received by Proprietor William Applegate of the Hotel Monmouth, Asbury Park, last night. Mr. Applegate was somewhat agitated over the contents of the message and last night could not recall the young woman's surname. This morning, however, he recalled Chester's admiration of a Miss Mable Brown of Syracuse and has no doubt that she is the girl chosen by his son. He expressed gratification with his son's choice and said that Miss Brown, whom he had met at a dinner in the Monmouth some time ago, was beautiful and charming. Anything further regarding the match will have to await word from Chester and his bride, who are sailing to Europe. Mr. Applegat is 26 years old, has established several records in amateur athletics and is a graduate of the Asbury Park School.
Chester married Mabel Brown Abt 1909. [Group Sheet]
