FUNERAL OF PATRICK DOYLE
_______
Large Attendance of Knights of St. Patrick, City Officials and others.

The funeral of the late Superintendent of Streets, Patrick Doyle, was held this morning in St. Francis Church. The services were very impressive, and the music was of a high order. The congregation was largely made up of city officials, past and present, prominent citizens, and friends of the deceased in St. Francis parish. Long before the solemn requiem mass commenced, the side aisles were filled. The center aisle was reserved for the family, their immediate relatives and friends, and the members of the city government. It was without doubt, the longest funeral procession which has left Fair Haven in years, there being 76 carriages. It attested the wide popularity of the deceased. The police arrangements were in charge of Officer's Caulfield, Gates and McCarthy.

The funeral took place from his late residence on Ferry Street, and thence to the church. A solemn high mass of requiem was celebrated, Rev. Father Mulholland being celebrant; Rev. Father McKeon of Sacred Heart Church, deacon; Rev. Father Shanley, sub-deacon: and Rev. Father D. J. O'Connor, master of ceremonies. The priests assisting within the sanctuary railing included Rev. Fathers Lawler, O'Connor and Kennedy of St. Patrick's Church, and Father McGowan. Schmidt's requiem mass was sung by a special quartet, consisting of Miss Margaret Burke, soprano; Miss Sarah Rohan, alto; M. J. McCarthy, tenor; and Peter H. Kain, bass. During the mass, Mrs. Nora Russell-Haesche rendered "There is a Green Hill Far Away" very feelingly. The music was under the direction of Prof. W. J. Rohan, and Miss Tessie Rohan acted as organist. The ushers in the main aisle were Dr. Moore and Jerome Donovan, friends of the family, and ex-Alderman Francis W. Foley from the Knights of St. Patrick.
The last services for the dead were conducted by Rev. Father Mulholland at the conclusion of the mass, who also delivered the sermon. During his remarks, there were very few dry eyes in the congregation. He spoke at some length on the gospel in relation to death. He said that Mr. Doyle was an exceptionally good husband and father, and was respected and held in high esteem by all with whom he came in contact. He was admired for the conscientious manner in which he performed his public duties, the clergyman stated, and had been a most sincere and capable public servant for the past 18 years. He added that the deceased was always a good church member, ever ready to lend a helping hand to the unfortunate. His charitable deeds were known only to those whom he had assisted, and perhaps the full extent of his good works would never be known. One thing at least was very manifest, he added, and that was Mr. Doyle had performed his duty well to his Maker and to his fellow beings, and it was appreciated. Father Mulholland concluded by extending the sympathy of all to the grief-stricken family and relatives, and in a feeling manner asked them to remember the deceased as a man of honor, integrity and worth.

The pall bearers were Col. John G. Healy, ex-Senator Joseph D. Plunkett, Major T. F. Callahan and Michael Dillon, representing the Knights of St. Patrick, and James F. Toole, John Devlin, Frank Campbell, and Michael Welch of the Knights of Columbus. The flower bearers were Masters John Collins, Joseph Hussion, Walter Fahy, John Fogarty and Walter Dillon. There were numerous floral tributes, among them the following: A magnificent Celtic cross, from the deceased wife; a beautiful elevated cross, from the Board of Public Works; three pieces from the Knights of St. Patrick; four: pillows from tree of Mr. Doyle's sister, Mrs. Patrick Burke, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Morris of Jersey City, and from his brother, John Doyle, a harp, from the Knights of Honor; pillow from Kinghts of Columbus; four pillows from Mrs. Doyle's nephews; wreath from of lilies from Miss Burke; wreath from J. J. Brennan; bunch of lilies from employes of the Public Works Department.

The funeral arrangements were directed by Alderman W. J. Connor, for the family, and Undertaker Frank Keenan. There was a large delegation present from the Knights of St. Patrick, under the leadership of President William Neely, they formed an escort from the deceased's residence to the church. They all wore in memoriam badges and crape on their arms. The interment was in St. Bernard's Cemetery, where burial services were conducted by Father Mulholland.
