John Foley dies after long illness in Lexington Avenue home
New York pioneer reformer John Foley, who helped defeat the Tweed ring in a famed 19th century junction suit, died late Saturday after a lingering illness at his Lexington Avenue residence. His 20 year struggle for good government left a lasting legacy, with his son now running the family gold pen manufactory near the Astor House. Foley began public service as a 1869 supervisor and opposed Boss Tweed, later backing projects with Commodore Vanderbilt to extend Madison Avenue to Yorkville and advocating a rapid transit line between city hall and Harlem.
