City. (Life member of the Society and a member of its Executive
Council.) Mr. Doyle is the senior member of the real estate firm of
John F. Doyle & Sons. He was born in New York City, 1837, a son of
James Doyle, who participated in the Irish revolution of 1798, and who
came to the United States early in 1806. This James Doyle, the
immigrant, had a son who was killed in the Florida war of 1837, and a
grandson who fell in 1861, fighting for the Union. John F. Doyle, the
subject of this sketch and member of the Society, entered the law
office of Alexander Hamilton, grandson of the first Secretary of the
Treasury, afterwards the firm of Hamilton, Rives & Rogers, and
remained with them from 1853 to 1869, in the meantime studying law and
being admitted to the bar in 1862. Alexander Hamilton, Francis R.
Rives, a son of William C. Rives, of Virginia, at one time minister to
France and senator, and Nathan Pendleton Rogers, all of the old
Revolutionary stock, were members of the firm. Mr. Doyle’s management
of some Wall Street properties for them at this period became so
conspicuous that he was urged by them to assume the management of
their estates, which he did. Shortly afterwards followed the
acquisition of the estates of such well-known people as Mrs. Harriet
L. Langdon, granddaughter-in-law of the first John Jacob Astor, John
Pyne March, Mrs. Morgan L. Livingston, George L. Schuyler, James M.
Pendleton, A. Newbold Morris, James H. Jones, John Steward, Jr., Royal
Phelps, deceased, Royal Phelps Carroll, Robert S. Minturn, estate of
Gertrude L. Lowndes, deceased, William H. King, of Newport, R. I., and
others too numerous to mention in detail. A feature of his career as a
successful manager lies in the fact that the business associations and
connections formed by him in the beginning are still held intact.
Among the notable sales made by him are those from William H. Morris
to John Jacob Astor in 1880 conveying 150 acres of lots in the
twenty-third ward on and adjacent to Harlem River; the great sale of
South Brooklyn lots at Gowanus Bay in 1884. Mr. Doyle represents today
the same old and well-known families and estates represented by him so
many years ago. During his career Mr. Doyle has met and done business
with some of the most notable men connected with families famous in
American history, such as three of the four sons of the first
Alexander Hamilton, Admiral Farragut, Capt. Percival Drayton, Rawlins
Lowndes, of South Carolina, William C. Rives, U. S. senator from
Virginia, at one time minister to France, George L. Schuyler, grandson
of Philip Schuyler, and owner of the famous yacht _America_, Philip
Schuyler, his son, Henry Grinnell of Arctic fame, Robert J. and
Mortimer Livingston, Hon. John Lee Carroll, Commodore Wm. K.
Vanderbilt, and scores of others equally well known, besides
representing branches now of four lineal descendants of signers of the
Declaration of Independence. His two sons, Col. John F. Doyle, Jr.,
and Alfred L. Doyle, have been with him in business for years past and
all three enjoy an enviable reputation for integrity, ability and
prudence in all their undertakings.

FLYNN, COL. DAVID M., Princeton, N. J., is cashier of the First
National Bank of Princeton. He is probably the youngest officer in the
National Guard of New Jersey to hold the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel,
being only thirty-three years of age, born in Princeton in 1876. In
the Guard, as well as in business life, Colonel Flynn has come up from
the ranks. He was one of the moving spirits in the organization of
Company L of the Second Regiment, which has distinguished itself on
the rifle range at Sea Girt. He enlisted in the company as a private
in 1900; was made a corporal in 1901, battalion sergeant-major in
1903; re-enlisted in 1905; was made captain and paymaster of the
Second Brigade by Colonel Collins December 10, 1906; major and
paymaster, Second Brigade, December 10, 1907, and major and inspector
of small arms practice, July 9, 1908. Colonel Flynn’s success in a
business way has been as remarkable and gratifying as his military
success. Owing to the death of his father, he began work in a store at
the age of thirteen, where by his industry and integrity he attracted
attention to himself. He studied at night, and when nineteen years of
age passed a United States civil service examination, and was named
registry clerk in the Princeton postoffice, which position he held
until about ten years ago, when he was chosen teller of the First
National Bank. Later he was made cashier of the bank and he has more
than made good. Since his connection with the bank the number of
depositors has more than tripled and the deposits have more than
doubled. Colonel Flynn possesses an attribute valuable in all walks of
life, but more especially in the banking world—he has never touched
liquor of any kind. He is Treasurer of the Citizens’ Association,
Treasurer of the Princeton Militia Company, Treasurer of the Princeton
Fish and Game Association, chairman of the Committee on Collections of
the New Jersey Bankers’ Association, Past Grand Knight of the Knights
of Columbus and is publisher of the _Bankers’ Loose Leaf Discount
Ledger_.

GARVAN, HON. FRANCIS P., Assistant District Attorney, 23 Fifth Avenue,
New York City.
GARVAN, HON. PATRICK, 236 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Conn. (A life
member of the Society and a member of the Executive Council.) He was
born in Ireland March 8, 1836, and came to this country in May, 1851,
and since 1852 has resided in Hartford. At the age of twenty-one Mr.
Garvan began his business career as a contractor and builder and
continued at the same for a period of twenty-one years. Many of the
public buildings and churches east of the Connecticut River were built
by him during this time. He was also a partner in a paper and paper
stock business carried on in Hartford under the name of E. J. Carroll
& Company. From 1877 to 1906, having purchased the interest of Mr.
Carroll, he conducted under his own name a paper and paper stock
business exclusively. In 1906 the business was incorporated under the
name of P. Garvan, Inc., and is at the present time carried on under
that name. It has grown to such proportion that at the present time it
occupies four warehouses on State Street in Hartford, with offices at
205 and 207 State Street, and one large storage plant at Holyoke,
Mass. Recently the firm has opened offices at 261 Broadway, New York
City, and its interests are cared for by Thomas F. Garvan, who has
been associated with his father for eighteen years. Mr. Garvan is also
identified with several mills, being President of the Eastern Straw
Board Company at Versailles, Conn., Hartford Board Company of
Hartford, Conn., and the Newington Paper Company of Newington, Conn.
Three of his sons, Thomas F., Edward J., and John S., are associated
in business with him. Mr. Garvan has always been a staunch Republican.
During his residence in East Hartford he held many positions of honor
and trust, having been chairman of the School Board of that town for
twelve years; was President of both Village Improvement and Street
Lighting Associations; trustee and Treasurer of the Raymond Library,
and for several years chairman of the Republican Town Committee. In
1884 he represented the town in the House of Representatives, and was
re-elected as its first representative in 1885, serving as chairman of
the School Fund Committee of that year, and as a member of the Finance
Committee in 1884. In 1890 he was elected State Senator from the
Second Senatorial District by the largest Republican majority given
any candidate in this district up to that time. For some years
previous to 1894 he was a member of the Republican State Central
Committee from the Second District, but resigned that office upon his
removal to Hartford. He was selected by the Connecticut Convention as
a delegate to the Republican Convention at Chicago which nominated
President Taft. When the Park Department of this city was reorganized,
the Legislature provided for the appointment of a commission to have
sole charge of this important work. Mr. Garvan was named as one of the
commissioners for the term of ten years. The Board of Park
Commissioners particularly entrusted to Commissioner Garvan the
purchase of lands for and the development of Riverside Park. In 1898,
as President of this board, he delivered the dedicatory address at the
services attending the opening of Riverside Park to the public. This
park has become one of the most useful pleasure grounds in this city,
giving, as it does, a place of recreation and rest for the poorer
classes and children of the East Side. Mr. Garvan has always taken a
great interest in educational matters, three of his sons having
graduated from Yale University and his daughters having finished their
educations abroad. Two of his sons entered the profession of law,
Frank P. Garvan, the present Assistant District Attorney of New York,
and Edward J. Garvan, who was Judge of the Hartford Police Court for
five years. The latter is now identified with his father’s business
interests. Mr. Garvan enjoys the respect and esteem of a very wide
circle of friends and acquaintances, not only throughout the State of
Connecticut, but wherever his large business interests extend. He is a
self-made, practical business man, cautious, conservative and strictly
honorable in all his dealings, and through his native genius and his
untiring energy he has been uniformly successful in all his business
affairs. He is now a director of St. Francis Hospital, director of the
State Bank and the Riverside Trust Company; is a trustee of the
Society for Savings at Hartford and of the Cathedral parish, Hartford.
In January, 1861, Mr. Garvan married Miss Mary A. Carroll of East
Hartford, and ten children were born to them, eight of whom, four sons
and four daughters, are living at the present time. His wife died in
September, 1906.

the service of the State and served in various departments until 1883,
when he was made settlement clerk of the directors of Public
Institutions of Boston. He was appointed soldiers’ relief
