Myrtina Doyle

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Miss Myrtina Doyle died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Doyle, on Adelaide street, last Tuesday morning.  She had been ill for a year or more of consumption, but had been able to be out until a few weeks ago.  For the last fortnight she failed rapidly and her death, though expected is deeply mourned. She was the oldest of seven children and possessed a kind and happy disposition which made her a wide circle of friends and was beloved by all who knew her.  She was a member of St. Paul's Catholic Church and also of the choir.  For several years Miss Doyle was a compositor in the office of the Chenango Telegraph, until compelled by ill health to give up the position about two years ago.  She went to New York city, where she was employed for a time. Returning again to Norwich she became a bookkeeper for several months in the office of the Morning Sun.  She is survived by her parents, three brothers, Fred, Harry and Joseph, and three sisters, Mazie, Florence and Rosa, who have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.  The funeral was held form the house at 9 o'clock on Thursday morning, and at 10 o'clock from St. Paul's Church.  Rev. Father John A. Hart officiating. Burial in St. Paul's Cemetery [Norwich, NY].

Sure and silent came the boatman,

Come to bear her o'er the tide.

Shall we know her, shall we greet her

over on the other side?

 

Yes, we'll know our dearest loved one,

Though her loss we deeply feel.

Yet 'tis God who wisely chastens.

He can all our sorrow heal.

 

Only just across the river

Waiting for us over there,

Sweeping through the "Gates of Glory"

She a crown of life will wear.
