Died: Jersey City, New Jersey, October 27, 1900. When Mr. Doyle was six years old his parents emigrated to the United States, came to Wisconsin and settled at Franklin, Milwaukee county. Mr. Doyle's first lessons were received at home. There and at the common school in Franklin he acquired a knowledge of the ordinary English language. He spent a short time in the office of the clerk of the United States District Court in Milwaukee, and in 1863 entered the law office of Butler & Cottrill in that city, intending to make the law his profession. Having spent about two years in that pursuit, he taught school for a short  time in Milwaukee, and then, having been offered an acceptable position in a railway office at Prairie du Chien, he removed there in July, 1865. In the spring of 1872, he was nominated by the Democratic City Convention as first mayor of the city of Prairie du Chien, but declined to accept, not coveting political life. In the fall of that same year he was elected to the assembly of Wisconsin from Crawford county. In the legislature of 1873, he took an active part in the discussion of many of the important measures of the session. In September of the same year, he was nominated for the position of secretary of state by the reform convention held in Milwaukee and was elected at the ensuing election. In November, 1875, he was re-elected, holding the position of secretary of state from January 5, 1874, to January 7, 1878. At the expiration of his term of office he traveled extensively in Europe, and then entered the Yale Law School for one year (the senior year), graduating with the class of 1881. Returning from the law school, he came to Milwaukee to reside and there established his law practice. In the summer of 1900, he removed to Jersey City and entered into partnership with H. J. Hoffman of that city. He delivered a number of addresses which were printed in pamphlet form, among them one at the Catholic Congress at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893.   Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
