Rushing to make all the formatting changes needed before I could post this message, I left out the record reference to Co. Clare which caused me to label this as a Clare family. I will review my original hodge-podge of saved messages to myself, in order to find that reference again. No one challenged me on that -- hey, wake up out there ! Also, the 1860 reference to several single Timothys should have been followed by "and also this one" rather than what I said, which was "including" the married man next listed. I also have no idea why the message bounced whereas two earlier ones this morning did not. I am glad that somehow the posting was made. Thank you, Cara, if your settings somehow saved my postings.

FOLEY, Huntington, Indiana. John J. Foley is a native of Pennsylvania, having been born in New Castle County on March 16, 1858. His father, Daniel Foley, was a railroad man, so that it was but natural that the young man, after acquiring a common school education, should turn his attention to the railroad business. When he was 16 years of age he secured employment on the Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley & Pittsburg Railroad and worked as splice boy on a construction crew. After seven months he left to accept a position as driver for the Warren County insane asylum, a place he held for eight months, going from there to work in the planing mill. Shortly after this he accepted a position as brakeman on the D., A. V. & P. Railroad, and for six years ran between Dunkirk and Titusville. In 1882, Mr. Foley resigned and accepted a similar position on the Chicago & Atlantic, and a year later he was advanced to fireman. Three years afterward he was promoted to engineer, since which time he has been engaged in the freight service and has won a high place in the estimation of the officials by his efficient work. He is a highly respected citizen of his community and is well liked by his fellow oemployes, being a prominent member of the B. of L. E., Division 221. In April, 1888, he was married to Miss Ellen Cramer, daughter of Patrick Cramer, a railroad man in the employ of the "Big Four," at Larue. Ohio, for the past forty years. They have a charming family of three children, Evelyn, aged 10, and Eileen, aged 9, are both attending St. Mary's school, while John Louis, the baby is the especial care of Mrs. Foley, who looks after her family with true motherly instinct." from: "American Locomotive Engineers, Erie Railway Edition," H.R.
