James Edgar Appleman, 'a man who just loved people'
James Edgar Appleman was an Augusta City Council member, private business owner and long-time foreman at a local company.
But one of his daughters, Edythe Flaugher of Augusta, remembers him most for his kindness and willingness to help others.
"He was a soft-spoken, agreeable type of man. He was a man who just loved people," Mrs. Flaugher said. "There aren't enough of them around."
Mr. Appleman, 80, of Port Royal, died at 6 p.m. Wednesday at his home. He was a retired foreman with F. A. Neider Co. in Augusta and member of St. Augustine Church in Augusta.
Mr. Appleman spent most of his life in Bracken County and was an all-star basketball player at Augusta High School during the 1930s.
He served on the City Council during the 1950s, when the town was much smaller. He encouraged economic growth, his daughter said, and ran Appleman's Sundries, which served ice cream and sandwiches.
Later, after his business closed, Mr. Appleman became a factory foreman.
"He was always interested in having the town grow and progress," Mrs. Flaugher said.
"Dad was interested in getting some thing done. He cared about the welfare of the town."
Mr. Appleman was a member of Augusta VFW Post No. 9535. His wife, Bess Reynolds Appleman, died in 1989. A daughter, Betsy Appleman, also preceded him in death.
Other survivors include another daughter, Susanne Thornsbury, of Augusta; sons, Jim Appleman of Greenville, Ohio, and Mike Appleman of Port Royal; a sister, Shirley Fulton of Ripley, Ohio; and 13 grandchildren.

Eunice Sue Tritsch, milliner, costumer,
beloved as Covington's 'Bird Lady'
When Eunice Sue Tritsch wasn't making costumes for her church's Christmas plays, she could be found helping a stray or injured bird in her West Covington neighborhood.
"The children in West Covington used to call her the "Bird Lady," said a niece, Linda Sanders of Covington.
"They would find young birds who were in danger and bring them to her and she would nurse them until they could go out on their own. If they couldn't, she would keep them as pets."
Miss Tritsch, 97, of West Covington, died at 1:45 a.m. Thursday at her home. She was a retired milliner, or hat maker, with Shillito's department store in Cincinnati.
Miss Tritsch's talents as a seamstress and hat maker were well-known. She often made her own clothes and made the costumes for the church plays at Epworth United Methodist Church in Covington, where she was a member.
"The costumes were beautiful," Mrs. Sanders said.
Miss Tritsch spent most of her life in Covington, her niece said.
Miss Tritsch studied art at the Baker-Hunt Foundation in Covington.
"She had a real sense of humor and sometimes it was a witty, dry sense of humor," Mrs. Sanders said. "She was very fun-loving."
