Old-Time Primitive Methodism in Canada", Jane Hopper
p. 29 "When I was a child he was called "Daddy" Lyle on all the country circuits. "Father" Lyle was a term of dignified respect that belonged to the city; but in the country where he had been as one of the family, marring the boys and girls, baptizing the children, and calling the father and mother by their Christian names, he touched their inner life; and the term "Daddy" Lyle indicated the warm affection with which they regarded him. They had no joys or sorrows he did not share. He was a man of fine open countenance, clear complexion, well made physically, and of commanding presence. William Clowes (Founder of Primitive Methodist Connexion) had met his and been struck by his gifts and graces. His wife was also a preacher, and so acceptable as to be chosen for special occasions."
p. 222 "Rev. Wm. Lyle...was converted when twenty-one years of age, and shouted God's praise. He then began to labor to bring others into the same blessed experience, and was very useful as a class-leader and local preacher. In 1826, he entered the Primitive Methodist ministry, and was sent to Canada in 1833. He was stationed in Toronto four times; Markham, twice; Brampton, twice, Etobicoke, twice; and Laskey, once. He was superannuated in 1858. He was a studious minister, a faithful pastor, a true friend, a most indulgent father, a wise advisor, and a devoted Christian. He was one of the pioneer ministers, a man of fine physique, and one of the men who excelled in the early days in establishing righteousness in this new country. His memory is revered."

"In 1833 the Hull Circuit sent Rev. Joseph Partington to assist in the further development of the work. In the same year the same circuit sent another missionary, whose name in Canadian Methodism is as ointment poured forth, William Lyle, for many years known as Father Lyle, a name indicative of the love and reverence in which he was held. He was a man of good figure, commanding presence and an open countenance. William Clowes had met him and had been struck with his gifts and graces. He joined the Wesleyan Church when twenty-one years of age, but afterwards became a travelling preacher in the Bible Christian Church* which he left on account of a trifling irregularity in relation to his marriage. After this he taught school till he became a Primitive Methodist preacher in the year 1826. The Hull Circuit sent him to London, and, after travelling in several English circuits, he was sent to Canada in 1833. He was stationed at Markham, one of the outlying appointments in the Toronto Circuit; afterwards at Churchville in 1835, and in 1837 in Etobicoke. Amidst much discouragement he laboured with success. He seemed to have but one aim: to save souls; and his heart's desire was abundantly granted him. His last circuit was Laskay, which, under his superintendency, was blessed with an increase of one hundred members. He superannuated in 1863, and died ten years afterwards. The first words he uttered when converted, in 1816, were, "Glory! glory! glory!" and amongst his last words when dying were, "Christ is all in all." His was a blessed life and a triumphant death.
