From 1981 "Harrison County History", page 150:

"Michael Doyle, Sr. (1829 - 1911) settled in Harrison Co. on a farm along the Willow Creek neighbors to the Kennedys, Lattas, Carsons, and Hannemans. Michael left his wife and baby son and joined the army during the Civil War. His wife Elizabeth Owens (1840 - 1918) and a wife of a neighbor kept the families together while their husbands were gone. At that time they could be hired to serve for someone else in the army for $50.00 a month.

Michael and Elizabeth had nine children. Michael Cryl Doyle (1861-1935); C. Edward Doyle (1865-1935); Rose Doyle Case (1867-1935); Ida Doyle McKinney (1869-1901); Nelle Doyle (1871-1953); Charles Doyle (1873-1886); Harriett Doyle (1875-1955); Mammie Doyle (1879-1903); Thomas C. Doyle (1881-1957).

They built a sturdy log house, part of the logs later used to build the log cabin in the Magnolia park. Later a house was built on the farm for Tom who farmed for years and then went into a hardware store in Logan. Michael Jr. farmed two miles away and Edward was in a drug store in Hamburg, Iowa. Harriet and Nelle stayed on the farm until their death. One of the century farms in Harrison County, 1860."
