History
Percy Maxwell Foshay was born on August 19, 1867, in North Andover, Essex, Massachusetts.
He was a physician, insurance agent, and amateur geologist. He graduated from Geneva College, Beaver Falls, Penn. (B.S., 1888; M.S., 1889) and the University of Pennsylvania (M.D., 1891). For several years, he had a private practice in Rochester, N.Y., and Cleveland, Ohio. He served as Secretary of the Cleveland Medical Society and editor of the Cleveland Journal of Medicine. He began his association with life insurance companies in Cleveland and became a medical referee with Mutual Life Insurance. Foshay was transferred to Chicago in 1902 and to New York in 1906, where he worked as a medical examiner and inspector of risks. He was a Fellow of the Geological Society of America.
In 1891, he married Laura Craig Long (1869–1904), and in 1904, he remarried Emily Jane Morgan (1872–1947). He died on January 26, 1939, in Montclair, Essex, New Jersey.
