Note from "Ye OLD BURYING GROUND OF FAIRFIELD, CONN." by Kate Perry, p. 215: " John & Avis Applegate gave their property to the Congreational Society so long as their tombstones were preserved. They were located on the premises of the Rubber Factory. When the New Haven Railroad was constructed these stones were taken up and set back in the field; when the factory was built these stones were in the way again, so were taken up and laid in the cellar to the factory house, where they lay till reclaimed in common with others desecrated until 1881."
This is the original inscription on his tombstone:
HERE LYES ye
BODY OF JOHN
APPLEGATE, AGE
82 YEARS.
