DANIEL DOYLE, of 1804 Woodlawn avenue, Indianapolis, is one of three brothers, residents of this city, all of whom are well known citizens, and all of whom are highly respected. Their names are Daniel, Thomas and Michael DOYLE. Daniel and his two brothers were all born in the parish of Catherciveen county Kerry Ireland, near the birthplace of the famous orator, patriot and statesman, Daniel O`Connell. Their parents were Thomas and Margaret DOYLE, their mother`s maiden name having been McCarty. Their father died when they were yet young, but their mother attained to a good old age. Of the ten children born to the venerated couple, seven grew to mature years, and five, four
sons and a daughter, still survive - one son and one daughter still in the Emerald isle.
Daniel DOYLE, the subject of this sketch, was about thirty years of age when he came to the United States. Becoming a citizen in 1872, he cast his first presidential vote at the election of that year at Terre Haute. He has therefore been a citizen of Indiana the same length of time he has been a citizen of the United States. From Terre Haute he came to Indianapolis, where he was married in St Joseph`s church, by Rev. Father Alerding, in February, 1879, to Miss Ellen Cahill, daughter of Michael and Alice Cahill, the maiden name of the latter having been Egan. The mother of Mrs DOYLE died in Ireland, but the father and all of his children came to the United States during the years 1851 and 1852. The father died on November 23, 1865, and his remains lay buried in Holy Cross cemetery. The children
that came with him to this country were six in number, two sons and four daughters, all of whom but one are living but one, Thomas, who died at the age of thirteen years, soon after the arrival of the family in America.
Mr and Mrs DOYLE have lived ever since their marriage in the parish of St. Patrick, but the earlier life of Mrs. Doyle was spent in the parish of St. John. They have but one child, Daniel Thomas, born November 6, 1881. He has been well educated in the Catholic schools, and is now a student at St. Stanislaus college, at Bay St. Louis, Miss. An unusually bright and intelligent young man, he has received numerous prizes for excellence in elocution and in his studies generally, the prize for excellence in elocution having beengiven at the close of the school year in 1897. Mr. and Mrs. Doyle are among the most estimable members of the parish in which they reside, and are worthy citizens of their city and state. They have an adopted
daughter, named Katie, who has been in the family since her
infancy, and who has received the same kind of care and
treatment accorded to their own son. She is a bright young girl, and is a joy to her adopted parents.
