Doyle’s First Church

Doyle, 1915

In early 1916, the Rev. C.W. Pogue held revival meetings in Doyle. So successful was his venture that in March he announced that a church would be built shortly. W.H. Earl who was the founder and promoter of the town, donated a town lot. On March 13, 1916 groundbreaking ceremony was held and the church opened for regular services in June.

It should be noted when Doyle came into existence in 1909, it was named for Long Valley pioneer, John W. Doyle, who settled just south of the town that would bear his name in 1859.
