William Foley is a linguist and professor at the University of Sydney. He specialises in Papuan and Austronesian languages. He is perhaps best known for his 1986 book The Papuan Languages of New Guinea. The University of Sydney, established in Sydney in 1850, is the oldest university in Australia. ... The term Papuan languages refers to those languages of the western Pacific which are neither Austronesian nor Australian. ... The Austronesian languages are a language family widely dispersed throughout the islands of Southeast Asia and the Pacific, with a few members spoken on continental Asia. ...
William H. Foley was J.A. Rowe's premiere clown at the Olympic Circus in San Francisco in 1850.
Mr W.H. Foley is recorded in the Daily Southern Cross as arriving in Auckland on the 24th March 1865 on the "Prince Alfred", with Madame Tournear arriving on the "Tararua" a month later on the 25th April 1865.
Foley's Amphitheatre and Circus in Taranaki street was opened Monday evening, and we hear there was a large attendance, and that those present were well satisfied with the entertainment, which is in many respects a departure from the usual run of circus performances.
WILLIAMFOLEY, who came to Southwestern Kansas in the spring of 1885, is in point of continuous service one of the oldest contractors and builders in this section of the state.
Foley built the Masonic Temple in Dodge City, the Waterworks Building, the Simpson and Hoover Buildings, the Kansas State Bank Building, the Carnegie Library, the First National Bank of Spearville, and the Catholic Church at Windhorst, and he superintended the erection of the Catholic Church in Dodge City.
Foley's political activities have only been as a voter of the democratic party, and frequently he has expressed his convictions by voting for the man rather than the party.
