near Vildo, Tuesday, Febru-

Mr.. Doyle had often been
heard to express the opinion
that should he take the dis

his wife that he did not ex-

mediately proceeded to give
her instructions In regard to
his business affairs. He was
sick about two weeks. His

conducted by Rev. Mr.. Dun
gan. A large crowd was

ried a Miss Brazil, who sur
wives him, and by whom he
has had nine children, all of
whom are living.
Mr.. Henry Doyle and Mrs.
John L. Foote, of Bolivar,
are children of the deceased.
Mr.. Doyle was one Of the

a quiet, unassuming gentle
man, and was one Of the few
men who was said not to have
had an enemy. He was
consistent member of the
Methodist Church, also al
Knight of Honor.
