He began the practise of medicine in the Kishacoquillas valley, at White Hall, where he remained for twenty-three years, and acquired an extensive practise. In 1891 he removed to Petersburg, Huntingdon County, to succeed Dr. McCarthy; here he was again successful, but returned to Mifflin County in 1895 and settled at Allensville. Dr. Pyle compounded his own medicines. He was a member of the Medical Society of Pennsylvania, and of the National Medical Association.
