Loss of Ferryboat Job Is Tragedy to Woman Once Rich
Florence Darby Foye, once daughter of London’s lord mayor and heir to a fortune, faces dismissal from the Staten Island ferry service for age and inefficiency. A $24 monthly pension and rising rent, plus four children and a storied past including Buckingham Palace dances with the king, frame her tale of decline from wealth to retirement. She attributes her fall to aging and ill health, recounting a life of privilege and a grandfather’s £187,000 estate before emigrating to America and marrying. She criticizes the city’s decision, noting her aristocratic origins and a once-glittering social standing.
