A brief history of Father Coyle, from Coyle Connections by Bernardine Lawler in 1985.
...Bernard W. Coyle was the third child and second son of Bernard Coyle and his first wife, Jane Dunnigan. He was born on January 24, 1840 at Canandaigua, New York. His mother died when he was a small boy. In 1852, he moved with his father and stepmother (and the rest of the family) to a farm in Cottage Grove, Dane County, Wisconsin. In the summer of 1860, when he was twenty years old, he was living at home and working out as a day laborer. He attended college in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; the Seminary there and also in Niagara Falls where he graduated with his Divinity degree. He was possibly ordained in Duguque, Iowa. He was assigned to parishes Cascade, Iowa; St. Anthony's Catholic church in Dubuque until 1875; he served the Garber-Littleport-Elkport missions in Clayton county, Iowa until 1882; he was priest at the Catholic church in Waverly, Iowa until 1891 (which he was responsible for starting St. Bernard's Academy there); he served at the Clermont Catholic church until 1896 with improving and beautifying the church there; he was the first resident priest at the Catholic church in Cedar Falls, Iowa and continued there until his death in 1901.
...In a parish booklet, "Father Coyle was as a deptor to all that he might be a benefit to all. Tall, slender and persuasive, his ministrations were most successful and his memory held in benediction. Father Coyle was born in New York state and his parents were natives of Ireland."
...He is buried in St. Patrick's cemetery, Cedar Falls, Iowa and is believed to have been the first to be buried in the new cemetery (from information of the B.V.M. Sisters of the Archdiocesan Chancery of Dubuque, Iowa). His cause of death was Acute Gastritus at the age of 61 years.
