WILLIAM W. APPLE, M. D.—Among the professional men of Imperial County is Dr.
William W. Apple, who has practiced his profession for many years with
ever-increasing success. He is one of the men of his chosen county who, by
reason of his personal integrity and ability, is recognized as one of the
leading men in his locality. Dr. Apple was born in Young's Creek, Indiana,
September 4, 1861, a son of W. C. and Elizabeth (Low) Apple. He received his
education in the public schools of Young's Creek. At the age of eighteen he
began teaching school and taught for seven years. In 1888 he entered the normal
school of Mitchell, Indiana, and graduated from that institution in 1889. He was
made principal of the Conyersville, Tennessee, graded schools for a period of
three years, and during that time he studied medicine and entered the hospital
college of medicine at Louisville, Kentucky, in 1889, graduating in 1892 with
the degree of M. D. He was the first honor man of the class. Dr. Apple started
to practice his profession in the latter part of 1892, at St. Francisville,
Illinois, remaining there until 1896, when he removed to Carmi, Illinois, and at
this place he remained until the fall of 1899. In that year he removed to Los
Angeles, California, where he practiced until 1905, then going to Stanislaus
County to look after his property interests there. In 1910 he came to El Centro
and has since been identified with this city. The doctor has had ranch holdings
in Riverside, Stanislaus and Imperial counties. His ranch in Imperial County
produced a crop of grape fruit in 1917. He is a member of the State and County
Medical Society. Fraternally the doctor is affiliated with the I. O. O. F. and
the K. of P. He was united in marriage at Orangeville, Indiana, July 27, 1889,
to Miss M. H. Hatfield, a daughter of William and Sarah Hatfield, a prominent
family of that locality. To this union have been born a son and daughter,
Cheerful H. and William L. The latter is identified with the Holton Power
Company. Dr. Apple's ancestors are of German extraction and came to America
previous to the Revolutionary war.
