house was hauled on the ice from Mt. Herbert to Doyles Point. Was the transported house from the second Driscoll farm? It was apparently quite common to haul buildings around on the ice in this hshion. The Doyle family would certainly be very excited at the prospect of moving from a small log house intoa twoastory “modern" home.The second house wascalled the Pippy ouse, (named, in all likelihood, for it’s previous owners oroccupants) andwas uled on the ice from Mt. Herbert using a ‘capstan' and horses. A capstan is device with avertical spindle aroundwhich aropcwaswound.

Fuller-ton's Marsh bridge was not completed until 1884, so the house ould be hauled without the bridge being a barrier.

IERCE (PIERIO DOYLE, ond Child of James Doyle and Margret Iaoey

Piery was probably the most successful in business of any of the children flames and Margret Doyle. Because he was a town councilor in Summerside d a builder of bridges, more inforrmtion about him has survived. Census cords indicate that Piery was born in P.E.l. in 1833. I an find no church cord of this birth. He was, in all probability, named after his grandfather Piery cy.

By l856 Piery was on his own, living in Charlottetown and running a vern. The year before. in 1855. gas streetlights were installed in parts of harlottetown. Perhaps it was in or near this very tavern that an incident olving his uncle Piery Iacey, a local blacksmith, occurred. The Royal we reported it this way.

Police Court:July 7th Pierce Lacey forusing lewd and profane language and behavior toward George Hix; convicted and fined 105, with costs or to be imprisoned for 48 hours.

This was not to be the last legal encounter involving Piery Doyle and his cle Piery iacey.

Piery was not satisfied with life as a publimn. Summerside was a booming wn in the 1860's and Piery. hearing this probably deddcd to try his luck ere. By 1863 he was living in Summerside and married to Johanna Sullivan m the Kerrytown Road in Clinton. They were living at the corner of Central d South Streets in 1864, and Piery's occupation was given as a 'joiner’. That r their first daughter Maryret was born and two years later they lost their t son, James iawrencc, as an infant. At this time Piery is described in the k Roads to Summerside.

When the Progress editor set forth on that July day of 1866 to make a call on the shipyards. he also had a word to say on ‘the workshops of Summerside,’ which conveys some idea of what a busy place it was. ...of Pierce Doyle he says ‘He is what may be termed a handyman— cabinet maker, house builder and house mover. He is one of the progressive young men of Summerside.’ (Macireod 86)
