Major Applewhite E are proud to say that the subiect of this sketch is a Mississippian, and typical of all that the name implies. He was born in Lincoln County, and spent his boyhood there. After graduating from West Point in 1897, he was assigned to the Fifteenth Infantry, and with this regiment served in New Mexico and Arizona. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War he was transferred to the Artillery and stationed at Tampa, Fla., during the war. At the close he returned to Washington Barracks, where he was promoted to First Lieutenant and sent to Cuba, where he served until his promotion to Captain in 1901, after which he served at various posts. He graduated from the then School of Submarine Defense, which is now the Advanced Coast Artillery School. From 1906 to 1908 he was on recruiting duty, after which came his retirement. Immediately after his retirement he was detailed on active duty and served as Commandant of the Peacock Military College, then the Utah National Guard, and then as Commandant of the University of Nevada. From there he was sent to serve as Quartermaster at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and from thereto the Mississippi National Guard, where he remained until it was mustered into the Federal Service. While in Jackson he gained the reputation of being among the best posted men on military affairs in the camp. In September, 1917, he was sent here. While here Major Applewhite has gained a unique place in the esteem of the stu- dents. He is recognized by all to be a capable and efficient officer, a strict, but broad- minded disciplinarian, and a typical Southern gentleman. (16)
