After many promises to pay it back, Doyle had to sell the lacey property in Charlottetown, which had been given to him as collateral. Piery iacey died in the Poorhouse in Charlottetown Nov. 30, 1889. He is buried in common ground in the Roman Catholic Cemetery near St. Pius X Church in Parkdale ((101103).

Piery Doyle died in Summerside Aug. 24. 1890, aged fifty-seven. He and his wifeJohanna raised eight children, allof whom did well forthemselves. He was buried in St. Paul's Roman Catholic cemetery in Summerside where his gravestone is very evident, the tallest in the cemetery.
