Norfolk Virginian February 1, 1877
The announcement of the death of John E. Doyle, Esq., will be received with 
regret by the community in which he has lived so long, and was so much 
respected.
For many years of his life Mr. Doyle was one of our most active and enterprising 
businessmen, and before the war bore a prominent part in the institution of the 
railroad system whose fruits are now to be seen in the position Norfolk occupies 
as the second cotton port of the country.
Since the war Mr. Doyle has not mingled in active business pursuits, but the 
duties of everyday life have brought him into pleasant intercourse with his 
fellow citizens. His generous disposition and warm-hearted cordiality of manner, 
together with a great fund of information and humor, endeared him to all classes 
and ages of society, and no man's presence was more welcome to the many friends 
who recognized and appreciated the goodness of the man and the charity of his 
nature. He was a man of the finest sensibilities and warmest temperament, and we 
remember to have heard no more graceful or grateful tribute than that which he 
paid but a few months ago to the memory of Henry A. Wise.
In his death we have lost a citizen who well and faithfully served his city and 
State, and who, in the relations of public and of private life, entitled himself 
to the respect and affection of all who knew him.
