PATRICK
DOYLE, deceased, was born in the County Wicklow, Ireland, January
6, 1812, and immigrated to Canada with his brother Mark in 1836,
removing to Ohio the following year. He returned to Ireland four years
later for a wife, who came with him to New York in the spring of 1842,
where Patrick Doyle and Anne Collin were married, in the Catholic
Cathedral of that city, May 15, 1842. The brothers came westward to
Trumbull County, Ohio, where they rented farms till the spring of 1851,
when they located in West Salem. Through the passing years our subject
accumulated a large property, and at his death, which occurred November
20, 1884, he was one of the wealthiest farmers of Mercer County. Both
he and wife were practical members of the Catholic Church, and he was a
stanch supporter of the Democratic party. No children blessed their
union, and his widow still resides upon the old homestead. Patrick
Doyle was a quiet, unassuming man, upright and honest in all his
dealings, and was a hard working, energetic and successful citizen
throughout his business career. He had hosts of friends, and was
thoroughly respected by all who knew him.
