Carroll D. Applegate.
June 1887-1972.

My Great-grandpa was Carroll D. Applegate. He was born in Canton, Illinois Fulton County is what I was told. He lived in Peoria, Illinois for years and then was taken to Texas by his daughter Emma Viola Tower. Grandpa Carroll was born June 10th 1887, and passed away in Texas Oct. 2 1972, I cannot find out who his parents were at all. Whether he had brothers or sisters I don’t know. In searching for him I found his headstone in Peoria, so I know that these dates are correct. He was married to Alta Letticia Gale and had 6 children and he was married to a women named Anna R. and her year of birth was 1879, and passed 1959, and I know he was married to a women named Jennie E. and her year 1891 to 1967.I do not know these women's last names. I have their headstones too. Grandpa was buried beside his 1st wife, Grandpa's daughter Emma Viola was married many times and she was married to my dads father Lincoln B. Johnson. If you come across any info on this Applegate family could you please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.
