March 14 1935 The Pauw Wow (St. Peter's College,
Jersey City, N. J.) page 3 Noted Alumnus Dies John J. Treacy, '91 John J. Treacy, one of the oldest alumni of St.
Peter's' College and one of the most famous, passed away on February 2G.
During the tumultuous period of political reorganization in Jersey City about
the beginning of the twentieth century, Mr. Treacy was an outstanding figure
in the powerful group that battled successfully for clean and decent
politics. Mayor Mark Fagan and Governor Woodrow Wilson frequently sought his
advice, for his authority on municipal and corporation law was universally
reognized thoughout the State, and his honesty and sincerity were never once
questioned Mr. Treacy was born sixty years ago in lower Jersey
City, and received his early education in St. Bridget's Parochial School and
St. Peter's High School. In 189l he graduated from St. Peter's college, three
years later receiving a Bachelor of Laws degree from New York Law School. Soon after being admitted to the New York Bar the
young lawyer entered a New York law firm where he served his clerkship with
the late Dwight W Morrow. In 1901 h e became a member of the New Jersey Bar
and immediately began an active career in New Jersey politics. He was elected
to the House of Assembly in 1902 and 1903, being Democratic leader in the
latter year. A close friend of Governor Wilson, he was appointed Jay Judge of
the Court of Errors and Appeals in 1911, resigning that position in 1913 to
become a member of the Public Utility Commission for two terms, serving as
chairman of the board for one term. During the happy years before his death former Judge
Treacy was associatecl with John Milton, aide of Mayor Hague, and later with
his brother Benjamin. His passing marked the close of a career that
throughout the years stood for that peculiar paradox, idealism in public
life. Never once was the character of John J. Treacy brought into debate. He
was a man of whom St. Peter's can justly be proud. |

In the ranks of death
The Pauw Wow takes this opportunity to express its sympathy
to the friends and relatives of the late Judge John J. Treacy, who passed away
two weeks ago. Here was the oldest living graduate of St. Peter’s College; one
of the links in the chain that binds the old College to the new; one of the
truest sons of St. Peter's.
Judge Treacy had the spirit that made the Jersey
college of old a memorable and a glorious school. He had the true spirit of
leadership that St. Peter's alumni exhibit. A civic leader, a good Catholic,
one of our great was Judge Treacy.
To say that we at the college feel his loss is to
minimize the sorrow that every true Petrean has when he notes the gradual
thinning of the ranks, the passing of the men who made tradition at the college
and lived that tradition after they had left.
St. Peter’s hopes that all her alumni will keep this
spirit in their lives "from the morning watch even until night". We
expect the younger element that is now in the process of character-building to
remain true to the tradition made and kept by Judge Treacy and men of his
greatness.

Jurist, public utilities commissioner and legislator and an expert on
corporation law, was dead today, victim of an attack of acute indigestion.

many other prominent men whom he outlived, succumbed at his home last night.
His wife, Ann, and his three daughters, Marie, Dorothy and Ann, were at his
bedside when he died.
His death interrupted a vacation trip to the West
Indies with Mrs. Treacy. The couple had planned to sail today.
Treacy, past the 60-year mark in age, was born here
and was graduated from St. Peter's college in 1891 and from New York law school
three years later. He served his clerkship in tha office of the late Dwight W.
Morrow and in 1901 was admitted to the New Jersey bar.
The following year he was elected to the state
assembly and was reelected in 1903, serving then as Democratic minority leader.
Wilson, then governor, appointed Treacy to the court
of errors and appeals in 1911, but he sat on the bench only one year before
resigning. The late Gov. James F. Fielder appointed him to the public utilities
commission In 1914 and thru part of his term he served as chairman.
Returning to private practlce, he first joined John
Milton, aide of Mayor Frank Hague, in law partnership and later formed a
partnership with his brother, Benjamin.

Anne
Treacy Canavan November 10, 2013 Anne Treacy Canavan, 92, passed away on November 10,
2013 in Fort Myers, Florida. "Treacy", as she was known to her
friends since high school ("Anne", to those in the Shell Point
community), was born Anne Elizabeth Treacy in Jersey City, New Jersey to Anne
Elizabeth Beggans and Judge John Joseph Treacy. She was pre-deceased by her
two sisters: Marie Galway of Glen Rock, NJ, and Dorothy Merrey of Ridgewood,
NJ. Treacy is survived by her sons Alan R. Hickok
(Sheila), Rochester, NY and Stephen R. Hickok (Andrea), Dunedin, FL; daughter
Treacy H. Malloy (Jim), Richmond, CA; stepsons C. Robert Canavan (Jaye),
Tarpon Springs, FL and James Canavan (Teresa), Safety Harbor, FL;
stepdaughter Lynn M. Canavan, Safety Harbor, FL; two nephews, Tony Merrey
(Sheryl), Roswell, GA, Drew Galway, NY, NY; two nieces, Marianne Galway, NY,
NY, Ellen Owen (John), New Rochelle, NY; two granddaughters, Marla Shannon
(Patrick), Rochester, NY and Cristina Carey (Matthew), Rochester, NY; two
great-granddaughters, Madison and Emilia Carey, Rochester, NY; and numerous
other step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren. The youngest of three girls, Treacy attended Dwight
School (NY, NY) and Smith College (Northampton, MA) before becoming the
wartime bride of Alan O. Hickok (Rochester, NY) during World War II. She
later became the well beloved wife of Robert M. Canavan (Lewiston and
Rochester, NY, and Sanibel, FL). Described by some as a graceful, fashionable
society beauty, Treacy's singing and song writing, dancing, and sometimes
wicked sense of humor earned her many creative and interesting friends
wherever she went. She was always surrounded by music, and was a patron of
the arts. In Rochester, NY, where she lived for over 40 years, she served in
the Junior League, the Rochester Art Gallery and as an organizer and
fundraiser for the Twigs (on behalf of Rochester General Hospital) and other
community service groups. She continued many of these activities when she and
Bob Canavan built their home on Sanibel Island, FL. Throughout her adult
years, she also maintained a summer home on the Lake of Bays in Ontario,
Canada, where she spent many happy summers with her friends, family and
extended family. Throughout her life, however, she thought of herself as a
"city kid" and loved returning to New York City and visiting other
great cities around the world. Treacy was an avid hiker, swimmer, skier,
water skier, boater, golf and tennis player, reader, songwriter, and world
traveler who reveled in life. She had a strength and spirit that will be sorely
missed by those who knew her. A private family gathering will be held in the
summer. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Hope Hospice at Shell
Point, C/O The Legacy Foundation at Shell Point, 15010 Shell Point Blvd.,
