Reuben Applebaugh, one of the best known citizens of the vicinity of Culver, died Saturday morning , March 30, 1912 of old age.

Mr. Applebaugh moved to Saline County in 1877 locating on a farm near Culver, Ks. He spent practically all of his life there with the exception of the short time before his death when he made his home with two sons at Culver. He came here from McVeytown, Pa., and had he lived until May 17, he would have been 84 years old.

Mr. Applebaugh was the last of a large family, all his brothers and sisters having died many years before.

Mr. Applebaugh was a member of the G.A. R.. He was also a member of the 149th Regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers. He was a charter member of the Culver Presbyterian Church.

Mr. Applebaugh was identified with the construction of the Plainville branch through Ottawa Co. through Culver. The proposition was bitterly fought but Mr. Applebaugh, with his son, Gus Applbaugh now of Salina, worked untiringly until they secured the necessary signatures to the petition and got a favorable vote on the bond issue. That railroad is now one of the country's greatest assets.

Mr. Applebaugh is survived by eight children. They are Gus Applebaugh of Salina; J.R. Applebaugh of Cherryvalle, E. C. Applebaugh of Culver, T.P. Applebaugh of Kansas City, Kan. Mrs. Anna Caldwell of Santa Anna, Cal., Mrs. Bess Jackson of Chivington, Col., W. M. Applebaugh of Alva, Okla., and R. P. Applebaugh of Culver, Ks. Mrs. Applebaugh died nine years ago.

The remains were taken to Minneapolis Monday where the funeral will be held. Burial was made in the Highland Cemetery, Minneapolis.
