DAVID II. KYLE, stock -raiser and farmer; P. 0. Radnor. James and Elizabeth (Boyd) Kyle, the parents of our subject, were natives of Ohio; the father was born Dec. 26, 1806, being the second white male child born in the township; Elizabeth Boyd, to whom he was married in 1827, was born Sept. 2S, 1809 ; Hugh Kyle, the grand- father of David, purchased the farm on which he resides in March, 1815, but had lived in the town- ship much longer, having emigrated here some time during the eighteenth century, making them among the very earliest settlers in the county or township. David H. Kyle was born in Badnor Nov. 17, 1844 ; during his youth and early man- hood, which were spent in going to school and assisting his father on the farm, not much can be said of interest but what could be said of the average boy and young man; when 21 years of age he commenced doing business for himself as a farmer; he was united in marriage, March 21, 1871, to Elizabeth Griffiths, daughter of David R. Griffiths, whose biography accompanies this work. From this union there is one child, David J., born Jan. 26, 1878; in our subject’s father’s family there were twelve children, of whom ten are yet living ; in cohneetion with his brother John A. he owns the old homestead that has been in the family since 1815, a farm of 161 acres ; Mr. Kyle is a member of the Baptist Church ; a Republican in politics, and a man of infiueuce in the neighborhood ; tracing the family history back, we find the Kyle family among the earliest pioneers in the township ; the grandmother was the first to be buried in the Radnor Cemeterv.
