In 1910, Colin was a six-year-old child who was doing very well in school. The family was living in Columbia where his father, Owen, was a gold miner and later a farmer.
Prevalent Disease Takes Columbia Boy
Colin Albert, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs Owen J. Doyle of Columbia, died in the hospital from influenza-pneumonia at midnight Wednesday.
Colin, who was but 15 years of age, was a fine, manly lad, and his death has brought sorrow to his schoolmates and the people of Columbia generally, to whom he was intimately known and greatly admired.
During the vacation period he was working in the box factory at Standard City. It was while thus engaged that the dreadful malady attacked him. He was brought to the hospital, and everything in the way of medical attention and nursing was done to bring him back to health and strength, but without reward. The violent fever weakened his strong constitution and he fell a prey to pneumonia.
Besides his parents he leaves a sister, Miss Osee and five brothers, Dave, an officer in the Navy, Thomas, with engineering corps in France, Charles, in Alameda County, Preston, with the Pacific Tungsten Co. in Nevada, and John, in the U. C. military training department in Berkeley. He was a nephew of County Clerk J. B. Doyle and City Marshal T. P. Doyle. The destreuction of this bright, young life is sad indeed, and the heart of the community is with the sorrowing relatives.
The funeral was held in Columbia at 11 o'clock this Friday morning from the family home. Beautiful blossoms covered the grave where they laid him to rest.
