Ada was the daughter of Manford W and Agnes D Johnson, both of New York. She was the sister of Charles Clifford Johnson, and the mother of Agnes D, also of New York.
Ada was married to Everett C Applegate, who in collusion with Mary Frances Creighton (Find A Grave Memorial# 12244271), murdered Ada employing arsenic mixed into her food.
Mrs Creighton had twice stood trial in the poisoning deaths of her mother-in-law and brother in the early 20's in New Jersey, and had been acquitted both times.
A very sordid affair developed in the home the two families shared at the start of the Depression, the end result being the death of Ada and the trial and execution of her husband and former housemate.
