AGED VETERAN’S DEATH COMES FROM ACCIDENT
Thomas Applegate, of Cammack, Life-Long Resident of Delaware County, Dies of 
Gangrene
Thomas J. Applegate, 75, a well-known man throughout the county, died at his 
home, in Cammack, at 6 o’clock yesterday morning.  His death came as the 
result of an accident which occurred twelve weeks ago.  At that time Applegate 
was breaking up some boxes in his store at Cammack, and in some manner bruised 
his right heel.  At the time the injury seemed of little consequence.  A few 
weeks later it proved serious, and gangrene developed. Physicians found it 
necessary to amputate the limb just above the knew.  This was done, but the 
spread of the disease continued, and the other limb and both hands became 
affected.  His death had been expected for the past few days.     Mr. 
Applegate was born and reared in this county.  He was a veteran of the Civil 
War, having enlisted in Company D, Eighty-fourth regiment, Indiana 
volunteers.  He has conducted a notion store in Cammack for a number of 
years.  A widow and twelve children survive.  The funeral service will be 
conducted from Pleasant Run church Sunday morning the cortege leaving the 
residence at 9:30 o’clock.  Interment will be made in Jones cemetery.
