And that was another primary Tammany sentiment reechoed at the close of Croker's reign as it had been announced at its start.
Mrs. Croker died and the Boss returned from abroad to attend her funeral. A short time later he married Miss Bula Edmondson. They retired to Florida to live and after many law suits with his children, went to Ireland where he died April 29, 1922. He was buried in a vault on his estate which he had erected and one of his last requests was that his horse "Orby," a Derby winner, be buried near him.
Orby had fulfilled one of Croker's ambitions when he won the Derby but that winning had caused him a snub by King Edward who did not invite Croker to the Derby dinner, an unprecedented slight.
"What's the use of discussing what's the best kind money?" the Boss wanted to know. "I'm in favor of all kinds. The more the better."
