Notes:
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. Mr. Applegate has from time to time invested in real estate and owns some choice properity in Asbury Park and vicinity. His winter home is at 509 Sixth avenue. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. In 1867 Mr. Applegate was married to Elmira Hendrickson of Freehold township, Monm,outh county. Mrs. Applegate passed away December 25, 1891. She was the mother of eioght children, all of whom survive her.
Mtr. Applegate is a self-made man. He began his business career with no capital excepting energy and ability. His success is attributable entirely to hard work and constant application.

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.

Notes:
OTTO APPLEGATE-In the mercantile circles of Long Branch, the name of Otto Applegate has come to stand for that progressive activity which inspires others to greater efforts, and brings the business world of any community into accord with the general advance . With mercantile experience in Eatontown, and the ability gained thereby, Mr. Applegate has taken rank among the foremost automobile distributors among the central counties of New Jersey.
Mr. Applegate comes from a family long prominent in this state, and is the fourth generation in line to be born on the old homestead. He is a grandson of Mathias Applegate, and a son of Jonathan and Louise (James) Applegate. His father was for many years a private detective, his activities in this field of endeavor finding the desirable inconspicuousness by reason of his side interest, a grocery store, located at Asbury park.
Otto Applegate was born in Unionville, New Jersey, now Smithburg, September 11, 1878. The family removed to New York City for a time in his childhood, Then removed a second time, coming to Asbury Park. Thus it was in the schools of that place that the boy received his education. As a young man he went to New York City, and there secured a position in a job printing office. He then started a business in New York City, carrying a complete line of steamship supplies, dry goods, clothing, etc., and was very successful in carrying this interest forward. A natural salesman, and a man of thoroughly genial and kindly spirit as well as manner, he found this occupation at once enjoyable and profitable. After fifteen years in business Mr. Applegate determined to retire, and disposed of this business. He had done no little motor driving, and was quite in the way of pastime, began to build a speed car, by his own designs. In the evolution of this car he acquired sufficient machinery to equip a modern automobile repair shop, and meanwhile, friends and acquaintances brought their repairs to him. Thus he found himself possessed of one of the most thriving and well equipped repair shops within many miles, without having purposed entering this field of activity. He erected an up to date brick structure for the purpose of manufacturing his own car, but eventually dropped this plan to take up selling. Accepting the agency for the Chevrolet car in Monmouth County, and for the Case car in the southern half of New Jersey, and five counties in Pennsylvania, including Phildelphia, having given over the Chevrolet agency, Mr. Applegate again entered the selling game, although this time in the new and broader field he has made a very marked success, and is considered one of the foremost men in automobile distribution in the State today. In the year 1920, he sold three hundred and eighty four cars.
Through the exacting nature of his business, Mr. Applegate is deterred from taking any active part in public life, but politically he supports the Republican party. Fraternally he holds the thirty second degree in the Masonic order, and is a member of the Tall Cedars of Lebanon, and KismetTemple, ancient Arabic Order Nobles of Mystic Shrine of Brooklyn. He is a member of the New Jersey State Automobile Dealers Association; of the International Automobile League; and of the Philadelphia Motor Speedway Association. He attends the first Baptist Church of Long branch.
Mr. Applegate married Iva M. Thomas, of Brooklyn, New York, and they are the parents of two children, Charles Otto and Ethel May.
