History:

Doyle or Doylestown was established in 1879 by Henry Doyle, a homesteader. From 1882-1883, the town was called Gilman. In 1885, it was renamed Doyleville. Henry Doyle established a stage line which was a stop for the Barlow & Sanderson stage. Doyleville was also a railroad stop on the Marshall Pass route. From 1881 - 1969, Doyleville had a post office. Today, Doyleville is a ranching community.

Like the town, Doyle Cemetery also has 2 other names: Doyleville Cemetery #1 and Doyleville Cemetery South.

Colorado Spirit Quest Information:

The Colorado Spirit Quest (CSQ) is a series of caches placed by many individuals, near cemeteries and historic sites in hopes of paying respect to the many pioneer ancestors that have “walked” before us. There are hundreds of cemeteries in the rural and mountain communities across Colorado. This series will provide a history tour of these cemeteries. If you are apprehensive about cemeteries, avoid this series.

The CSQ endeavor is an enormous and relentless task. It will only flourish if there is a multitude of volunteer cachers willing to place these caches. Each person that places a CSQ cache is responsible for its maintenance.

New volunteers are always Welcome!! If you are interested in being a part of this project, email the owner of Colorado Spirit Quest #1 – Golden Mountain Passage.
