I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the APPLETON Family. The
first is one of Frank APPLETON which was taken at the Gamer Studio in Omaha,
NE. The photograph is dated 31 May 1899 and indicates that Frank is 9 years
old at the time, listing his birthday as the 2nd of March. The second
photograph is one of Saville APPLETON which was taken at the Hannah &
Eliason Studio in Salem, SD. A note on the back indicates that it was given
to Sadie on 12 Mar 1901 and that Saville is "Alf's Cousin". Someone has
also added that Saville died 8 May 1914 at the age of 48 years. Based on
limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding
these APPLETON Family members:
Frank S. APPLETON was born 2 Mar 1890 in Sioux City, IA to parents Oliver B.
APPLETON (1852-1903) and Elizabeth "Lizzie" FANNING (1859-1919). Frank had
one sibling, a sister Hannah Isabel APPLETON (1888-1963). Frank married
Emma APPLETON (b. 1869) and he died at the age of 26 on 29 Nov 1917 in
Omaha, NE and is buried in the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Omaha, NE.
Saville W. APPLETON was born Jan 1867 in Sioux City, IA to parents Amos R.
APPLETON (b. 1819 or 1822 in New Jersey-d. 1878) and Hannah Ann SAVILLE
SAVITTS (b. 1824 or 1827 in Wayne Co. IN-d. 1909). Saville was one of 5
children born to this couple including, Margaret; Frank T.; Oliver B.; and
Saville W. APPLETON all born between 1848 and 1867. Saville died 7 May 1914
in Sioux City, IA and is buried in the Floyd Cemetery in Sioux City, IA.
