   JOHN FOLEY, of Foley Bros. & Co., merchants, was born in
 Ireland in 1830; came to America in 1848, and direct to Lake
 Superior; landed at Eagle Harbor, going almost directly to
 Isle Royale, where he spent three years.  He then returned
 to Eagle Harbor, and in 1854, started in the liquor trade.
 He subsequently engaged in the meat market business.  In 
 1857, he began as a dealer in general merchandise in com-
 pany with his brother.  Mr. M. SMITH was subsequently taken
 in as a partner, and the business has since been continued
 under the above name.  Mr. FOLEY has held various official
 positions.  He has been Constable many years, Town Treasurer
 six years, and Under Sheriff two terms.
