People: First Class: Charlotte Appleton
1894 brought her marriage to the son of John Adams Appleton and Serena Parker Dale, Edward Dale Appleton. He was also a noted Massachusetts book publisher. They resided in New York City, and then in Bayside, New York. They had no children. Mrs. Appleton came to be on the Titanic after travelling in England. Her and her sisters, Mrs. John Murray Brown and Mrs. Robert C. Cornell, had been to the funeral of their sister, Lady Victor Drummond. It was just the 3 of them, as Mrs. Brown was a widow, and neither Mrs. Appleton or Mrs. Cornell's husbands came with them. The sisters boarded in Southampton, and occupied cabin C-101. Appleton's ticket number was 11769. On the fateless night, the sisters went quickly up to the boat deck after the collision. They were also joined by Miss Edith Evans, a friend. The final hours brought the seperation of Appleton and Cornell from Brown and Evans, so Appleton and Cornell got into lifeboat 2 without the other two. This boat left the Titanic at 1:45, making it one of the last ones to leave. Fellow members of their lifeboat say that both of the ladies rowed the whole time. As this was happening, Brown and Evans were found by Colonet Gracie, a friend of the family, and taken to the last boat to leave the Titanic. Sadly, there was only one seat left, so Brown was the only one who got in, because she had children waiting at home. Evans ended up going down with the ship. Collapsible D left the Titanic at 2:05 a.m. Happily, the three sisters found each other once they were back aboard the Titanic, and also, remarkably, found their uncle who was a passenger on the Carpathia. Mrs. Appleton returned to Bayside, New York, and later died on June 25, 1924 when she was 65 years old. Her husband died January 29, 1942. |
