A
Appelgate & Leland, Attorneys at Law
Among the oldest practicing attorneys, and honorable citizens of the County, we can mention D. D. Appelgate, of the above firm, who became a citizen in the year 1851. When Mr. Applegate, first came to the County he took up a claim twelve miles north west of Toledo; worked his land till the fall of 1854, when he moved to a place near where Toledo now stands, he having been chosen County Clerk, which office he held by re-election from May, 1853, to the first of January, 1869, making a faithful and efficient officer. He has also held other prominent offices, that of Supervisor, Mayor and member of the School Board at sundry times, being quite active in educational matters and in whatever tends to the mental or moral good of the community. In 1868, was admitted to the bar, and law practice has since been his business. After being alone one year he became the partner of L. G. Kinne, this firm continued from November, 1869, to December, 1876, when Mr. Kinne retired after which Mr. Appelgate practiced alone until September 1878, when S. C. Leland, became his partner. Since that time they have been doing a good collection business as well as court practice, and in all respects they are safe, true and reliable men, and are both respected and honorable citizens. Office on High Street.
T. K. Armstrong, Drugs and Medicines
Every dispenser of drugs should, to our mind, be a cautious and well educated person to avoid the very serious and often times fatal mistakes that may occur by incompetent individuals. In the above named gentleman, Toledo has a cautious dispenser of medicines, and one whose education eminently qualifies him for this position. Mr. Armstrong has been a resident of Toledo since 1860, and from that date has been in the drug business. He deals in the best goods and is practically and well known as a leading dispensing druggist. His store is located on Broadway, east of the Court House, where he may always be found ready to wait upon you.
