Frank Doyle's
|Untimely Demise
EvOkeS Tribute
(BY THE OUT EAsTER)

You out here in the East End
must have known Frank Doyle,
who died the other day at his
home on Plaza avenue.
Just look back and recall the
head clerks who used to be ass0-
clated with the Economy Grocery
company in the old days. and later
the National Stores, and we arc
sure you will say you knew him.
For years he was the manager Of
the store at the junction Of East
Main and Albion street, and
still later we found him at times
In the store at the corner OF East
Main and Knoll street. He may
have been In the other stores out
here, but we. remember him best
At the points indicated. For
awhile, too, he was connected
with the stores Of these same
concerns In other parts Of the
city.
His services were such that
everybody liked him. Frank was
one Of those kind Of fellows who
felt the customer was always
right. He was never known 10
dispute the word Of the patron.
His main desire was 10 please
and he always did. judging by the
favorable comments of the people
who dealt with him when he was
In the stores In question. And
then when he left to become q
district manager, the people lost
track of him for awhile, but he
came back eventually, when the
business changed hands, and WAS
again found behind the counter,
even II II was not always In this
section. =. .3st T..
We remember Frank when he
was employed In the old Boston
Butter House on south Main
street, near Scovill street, In the
days when that Institution was
one Of the most Furnishing Of
any store In the city. He was the
same then ~ afterwards, always
courteous, and palnstaklng, and
every ready 10 assist the person
he was dealing with In getting the
article he wanted 10 carry home.
Frank, they say, was an Elk,
but he was one of the quiet and
hardly known members OF the
order. He seldom visited the
club. but was never. lax In the
payment Of his annual dues. lie
greatly priced his membership In
the order, and never missed any
urgent call as issued by the Of
ficerx Of Waterbury lodge.
We knew Frank well; we saw
him trim the store at Albion
street upon numerous occasions
for the Thanksgiving and Christ
mas seasons. No etnpIoye ever
worked harder; no attachee was
more loyal or sincere 10 his en-
pl0yers. Our own impression Is
he was too hard q worker for his
own good. But that was his way;
II was his makeup, whether APP
prsciation followed or not.
We are extremely sorry at his
death; his age didn't warrant II.
Our own idea n, just like In many
other cases, he worked himself
10 death. tn $50 q
Frank Doyle was, q true gentle
man; q fine character, q good
man. and an honor and n credit
10 those closely identified with
him.
