From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stanley M. "Larry" Doyle (February 4, 1898 – January 16, 1975) was a justice of the Montana Supreme Court from 1961 until his resignation in 1967.

Born in Revere, Minnesota, he received his bachelor's degree from St. Thomas College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and his law degree from Drake University Law School, Des Moines, Iowa, in 1922. That same year, Doyle was admitted to practice before the Montana Bar.[1]

He engaged in the general practice of law in Glendive, Montana that year (1922). He may be one of the youngest pilots to fly in the United States Army Air Corps (at 19), which he did until the conclusion of World War I. Doyle also served as an intelligence officer in the United States Army during World War II, after which, he returned to private practice, this time in Polson, Montana. He was appointed Associate Justice by Governor Donald Grant Nutter to the Montana Supreme Court in 1961 and retired in 1967. Doyle died in Polson, Montana, at the age of 76.[1]
