John W. Vrooman

John Wright Vrooman (March 28, 1844 – November 24, 1929) was an American lawyer, banker and politician from New York.

He attended Little Falls Academy from 1857 to 1859, and then taught school in the countryside.

Vrooman then studied law in the office of Judge Ezra Graves, but enlisted in the Union Navy during the American Civil War.

After the war, he resumed the study of law and was admitted to the bar.

At the New York state election, 1891, he ran for Lieutenant Governor of New York on the Republican ticket with Jacob Sloat Fassett, but was defeated by Democrats Roswell P. Flower and William F. Sheehan.
