JUDGE COYLE PASSES AWAY

In the passing Of Judge Coyle, this
community has lost one Of its most
substantial citizens; one who viii
be sadly missed. II can safely be
said that no man was more widely
and favorably known in this and
surrounding counties than was he.
We have known him and his life
work for more than half century.
He was born in Jackson County on
February 26th, 1850.
He spent his early childhood at,
or near, the place Of his birth, just
at an age when he should have had
the advantages Of school. Our country
was at war, depriving him OF even
the schools such as were common
in those days. and yet, by his deter
mination, he, in a measure, Overcame
these obstacles. After the Civil War
he with his parents m1ved to Madi-
son County. AT the age OF eighteen
he entered law school at Cincin-
natl, o., from which he graduated
in the early seventies.
Soon after, he was elected con-
stable OF the Glades District, Madi-
son County. which Office he filled
with much credit 10 himself and to
the people. Following this he was
elected magistrate for three sue
cessive terms.
He praeticed law in this and ad-
joining counties until 1893, when he
moved 10 Jackson County. He was
elected County Judge in 1899 and
served until 1905.
Judge Coyle was man who ira
veled much; not for pleasure, but
for some important business for
others.
He was eminently q friend OF the
poor man, regardless Of color or
nationality and was ready always
TO assist in time OF need. He was al
ways a safe counsellor, not only by
his good judgement and advice, but
with his means as well. He always
stood for the right as he saw the
right and was bold and fearless TO
strike down anything which he be-
lieved 10 be wrong. In dealing with
his fellow man, his integrity stood
above reproach.
To sum up his whole life, he was
loved most by those who knew him
best.
