        Successful in his chosen work, Harry E. Doyle is entitled to a place 
among the substantial citizens of Merced County, to which location he came in 
1917, when he assumed the agency for the Dodge Brothers motor cars. His 
fireproof building is located at 644 Seventeenth Street in Merced. A son of 
William S. and Adaline (Legg) Doyle, he was born in Ellenville, N. Y., on 
January 28, 1889. Both parents are still living in New York State.
        Harry E. Doyle completed the grammar and high school courses; then took 
a course in the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N. Y., and completed 
his education at Stanford University. In 1917 he removed to Merced to take over 
the agency for the Dodge Brothers motor cars, and during the time of his 
residence in this section his strongest interests and associations have been in 
the community which he selected for a home.
        The marriage of Mr. Doyle united him with Miss Helen Jones, a native of 
Porterville, Cal. Fraternally, Mr. Doyle is a member of Merced Lodge No. 1240, 
B. P. O. E.
        Mr. Doyle takes great pride in his growing business, but finds time 
during the heated season to spend a few weeks in the open, camping beside a 
mountain stream and indulging his fondness for fishing.
