Andrew Doyle, 1836-1908

Andrew Doyle, also known as James Andrew Doyle, is my great-great-grandfather. Today is his 175th birthday. I hope he's celebrating with everyone he ever knew in this world!

Andrew was born in Northumberland, England; immigrated to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, in 1869; and died in Stoneboro, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. Below is a copy of his death certificate and a transcription.
