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.

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.
