OBITUARY
Gentle reader, we do not expect to do this subject justice, life is too short and eternity too long, to go into details in a brief newspaper article.
John J. Doyle was born in Jackson county one mile north and one-half mile west of Larkin April 17, 1874. He attended the common school at Larkin and helped his father to improve the farm on which he died, January 18, 1902. He was married to Catherine Grannell of Straight Creek April 8, 1896. He was taken sick about eighteen months ago with Bright's disease. For the last three months he was confined to his bed. Human skill, medical science and loving care, all alike proved fruitless. He died a living death every day of the last month of his illness. He leaves a wife and two children, an aged mother, one brother and one sister. His mother at present is not expected to survive him long.
Dan Ryan, Tom Ryan, Ed Kathren, Will Kathrens, Rufus Moore and Jerry Cawley, six of his schoolmates and life long companions acted as pall bearers.
Tenderly they bore him from his happy home to the hearse, thence to the cemetery near the beautiful little city of Effingham. His funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Iter, of Holton, in the Larkin Catholic church, of which he was a life long member. The crowd who followed him to his last resting place; through a heavy snow storm, showed how well he was beloved by his relatives and neighbors.
Our personal acquaintance began when he became a member of our family by his marriage to Catherine Grannell, of Straight Creek, and it soon ripened into friendship, which I am glad to state in this presence waxed warmer and grew stronger as it grew older.
And to the woman who knew him best and loved him most, let me say that there is no higher plane for her sex, no more fruitful ambition, no riper field for action, than to be the partner and co-worker of a man who tries to do all the good he can for his fellow man. Mrs. Doyle, in the darkness of her sorrow, has the sympathy of her entire acquaintance, many of whom would gladly bear part of her burdens. May the future of her life be brightened with rays from the other landing where the morning of a new day awaits her coming.
