July 4 of 1888 saw Jim's wife Margaret purchasing a graveyard plot (plot# 33) in the new (cemS) graveyard near St. Pius X Church (Cemfi3) forthe burial f his infant son James who died at age 6 months. James was one of four hildren born into this family who died in infancy. Records of burials of two f the children are not in the church register. This probably means that they re baptized at home and died as infants. It was customary to bury infants 'thin the grave of some previously buried family member. A shallow grave uld be dug directly over the earlier grave and the infant interred there.

The Canadian Government Census of 1891 describes the Doyles of lot as follows:

R‘= Relation to had of household. Note that Doyle was misspelled as Doyal on the census record Margaret A Doyle (nee Hogan) is incor- rectly recorded as Margaret F. PBF: Place of birth of father. R&W= Rad and Write M/S= Married or Single.

In the year 1892, the yarafier their son William was born, we get a unique glimpse at the Doyle farm because of a loan made to J irn Doyle by Patrick Duffy. This was done through lawyerJohn Tellish. (Chattel Mortgage #5489)

The collateral for the loan of $145 tells us that the animals on the farm re as follows:

One old mare color black and foal; One mare 4 yrs old color red; One horse4 yrsold color red; One poll cow red and white incolor; One cow color light red and white; One heifer 2 yrs. old color black and white; One heifer 2 yrs. old color red and white.

This was also the year of the catastrophic fire in St. John’s Newfoundland. Doyle is listed in the Guardian among the contributors to the massive lief fund mounted on P.E.I. to aid the homeless. The large Irish population Newfoundland mused Islanders to respond genemmly. As previously ed, Jim’s brother John went to Newfoundland at that time to work as a ter helping to rebufld the devastated city.
