Pat--
I encourage you to contact Alan January at the Indiana Archives to determine
if Alice Applegate/McApplegate was ever committed to a hospital for the
insane. If she was, and you can prove that she is your ancestor, you should
be able to access her records that often contain very useful information.

Subject: Re: [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Scott County: Thomas J. McApplegate Accused
of Murdering His Wife
Milwaukee (WI) Weekly Wisconsin, December 21, 1881, p. 6.
At Scottsburg, Ind., Thomas J. McApplegate, aged 60, is in jail on a
charge of murdering his wife, aged 35. The woman was insane, and her
husband gave her double doses of morphine and chloral (sic).
This should be Thomas Jefferson McClellan Applegate. Best questimate is
that the wife was Allfair Carr Rayborn AKA Allefair/Allie/Alice. Although
the date of death I have for her is 31 Dec 1881.
If anyone has further information regarding Allfair or the resolution of the
murder charges or the trial if there was one, I would appreciate hearing
from you.
Thanks,
Pat
