History
Gladys Doyle (1899-1991) was a Methodist Episcopal Church missionary to India for forty years. She received a B.A. from the University of North Colorado in 1924 and an M.A. from Drew Theological Seminary in 1925. Later that year she sailed for India to begin her work as an education missionary. During her first term she supervised Methodist schools in northern India. Doyle also taught school in the Himalaya mountains. From 1950 to 1967 she supervised village schools in three districts. In addition to these duties, beginning in 1958, Doyle was in charge of evangelistic work among women in the four districts of the Moradabad Conference. Active in the campaigns of the Laubach Literacy Movement, Doyle wrote two readers in Hindi with Dora Walters. After her retirement in 1967 Doyle returned to Boulder, Colorado, where she was active in the First United Methodist Church and United Methodist Women.
