‘ d of an opportunity in Mt. Stewart in 1877 and moved to that area. By 1881 e had a steam-powered saw mill and furniture factory in operation. 'Mt. tewart Notes Mr. Doyle has broken up the monotony, that so long reigned after a thorough repair) by getting his stmm saw mill and cabinet factory into operation.'(Tbe Examiner, Jan. 24, 1880) The above ad appeared in the Charlottetown Directory about 1880. This miturc factory and mill did not work out for William. His decision to leave y have been based upon a general decline in the economy of the Mount ewart am, as the shipbuilding industry faded.

In 1880 the family hada home in Mt. Stewart and the 1881 Federal Census 'bes the family as follows:

Doyle William 30 Block and Pump Maker R.C. Lot 37

Doyle Margaret 30 wife both born P.E.I. Doyle MaryA. 8 born P.E.l. DoyleJamcs 6 born P.E.I. Doyle William 4 born P.E.I. Doyle Arthur P. 1 born P.E.l. DoyleJohn 22 Cabinetmaker born P.E.I. McWade Arthur 40 born P.E.I. Phae Sarah 21 born P.E.I.

The reader will notice that the ages in census do not always correspond those calculated from birthdates, or baptismal dates appearing in cburcb wrds. This is due to a number of factors, including enumerator's errors people giving erroneous information to the enumerator, perhaps to pear younger!

In 1885 William took advantage of another opportunity, possibly on the 'ce of his brother Piery. He purchased 76 acres of land and a sawmill in bane in that year from John Gillis, and the family went to live there, ing to church at Kcllys Cross. There they remained. A child, Catherine must have died as an infant. Also the couple lost two boys, Lawrence altham, onJan. 15. 1886 and Walton, on May 30,1887.

In 1891 the family consisted of William 43, Margaret 43, Ada (Mary laide) 18, James Edward 16, William Millwood 13, Pierce P. (Moses Peter) , Arthur Patrick 9, John Emmett 7, Cheehuc Minne[sic], domestic (probably Chinese servant). William and his family ran a sawmill and also did some ' g. They sawed logs into boards for farmers and also made tobacco boxes the Charlottetown firm of Hickey and Nicholson.

Hughie Buchanan, an elderly resident of Breadalbane, was living in the nior citizens home in Hunter River when I spoke to him November 4, 1990. ughie had this to say about the Doyles:

I remember some of the younger Doyles. Their mill was located about one quarter mile from the vilhgc on the Elliot River just before it converged with the Dunk [river]. They used to make tobacco boxes
