JUDSON APPLEGATE, one of the prominent lawyers of Tacoma, was born at Utica,
New York, April 29, 1835, and is a son of Furman and Emily J. (Fox) Applegate.
The subject of this sketch was reared in Montgomery county, New York, and
received his educational training at Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio,
where he was graduated in 1862. He taught school for a short time, and then
removed to Indiana, where he began the reading and practicing of law with Judge
Jonathan C. Applegate, a second cousin. He was admitted to the bar at Frankfort,
Indiana, in 1863. He practiced at Delphi, Indiana, for many years, and was
recognized in that State as one of its ablest lawyers. He came to Tacoma in
March, 1889, and now ranks among the most successful and prominent members of
the Washington bar, maintaining a practice in both State and Federal courts.
He has served as Master of Mount Olive Lodge, No. 48, F. & A. M., at Delphi,
Indiana, and now affiliates with State Lodge, No. 68, Tacoma.

Guys
Thank you all very much indeed for all this help.
It's comprehensive, and will take me a few days to process and digest.
Very much appreciated

Right, I begin to get the picture. Bergen Weeks Applegate was a successful journalist in Chicago. His major publication, apart no doubt from a lot of journalism (!) was his translation of a substantial number of poems by Paul Verlaine. Not the best translations ever, but at that time translating him successfully was still pretty unusual, and 159 poems was a pretty stupendous achievement. The first attempt had been by the now much better known not to say famous poet Gertrude Hall, there had been an idiosyncratic attempt by Ashmore WIngate, a Scottish poet with a rather obscure history, and a very well known set by the much more distinguished poet Arthur Symons. After that nobody had much of a try until around the 1950s.
I begin to get a picture of BWA himself.
All your reports have been most helpful.
