Bellevue Leader, May 3, 1875 

ANOTHER EARLY SETTLER GONE 

Mr. John P. Foley died at Mr. Demming's his brother-in-law, at Davenport, April 
20th, of erysipelas, in the 48th year of his age. Mr. Foley lived for many 
years in Bellevue, and was a son of John P. Foley, Esq., one of the earliest 
settlers of Dubuque, and a man much respected in his day. The deceased was 
Sheriff of Jackson County from 1853-1855; and afterward, up to the time of the 
war, he was engaged in merchantile pursuits in Bellevue. When the war broke out 
he enlisted in the 5th Iowa Infantry-was commissioned Second Lieutenant, and 
afterward filled the office of Adjutant, on General Buford's staff. Since the 
war he was engaged in the book and insurance business business until about a 
year ago, when he was employed on the Davenport Gazette as one of its 
travelling correspondents. The paper pays him a high compliment by saying they 
always found him able and reliable in all transactions. He leaves a wife and 
three daughters to mourn his loss.
