Read More	ource: The Kingman Journal Kingman, KS February 19, 1926 (Friday) C.L. SCHOOLEY C.L. Schooley, an honored pioneer of Kingman county, passed away at the home of his son, Chester Schooley, in Hutchinson last Saturday evening. Mr. Schooley has been in failing health for a number of months. A month ago he was taken to Hutchinson to be under the care of his doctor son, Dr. Leroy Schooley. The following obituary and tribute was written by his old time friend, Major W.L. Brown, of Hutchinson: As the sun was sinking to rest Saturday, Feb. 13, 1926, at the home of his son, Chester, in Hutchinson, the spirit of a beloved pioneer passed from mortality to immortality, from this life's trials, cares and sorrows to eternal rest. We refer to the passing of Charles L. Schooley, a resident for many years of Roscoe township, Reno county, who owned at the time of his going, the farm he filed on as a claim in 1878, which has been his home these many years. Charles L. Schooley was born in Lee county, Iowa, in March, 1851. In young manhood he was married to Sarah Brown and moved to Kansas in 1878. To this marriage was born five boys, one of whom died in infancy. Four have grown to manhood and have families of their own: Chester L. and Leroy of Hutchinson, Tom of Alva, Okla., and Charles of Pretty Prairie, all prominent, respected and honored citizens, who have followed the teachings and precepts their father, whose good deeds and kind acts will long be remembered by the men and women, who with him braved the privations of pioneer life. Two brothers, James of Hutchinson, and Will of Kingman, three sisters, Mrs. M.D. taylor, Ringwood, Okla., Mrs. J.A. Lambert, Pretty Prairie, and Mrs. J.S. Milam of Atchison, all of whom survive him. All these will miss and mourn his departure but none equal to the one who 50 years ago became his bride and who, through these many years, has shared his joys and sorrows and did her part nobly and well, in sunshine and shadow, and now must walk life's pathway alone. For Liv Schooley, as we all know him, life was not lived in vain. His helpfulness and optimism during the problems and perplexities incident to pioneer life was helpful to us all. When the hot winds and drought destroyed the crops he did not enter the cave of gloom as many did, with the saying of "what's the use," but with true Kansas spirit girded on his armor of persistency, found a silver lining to every cloud, assisted those less fortunate and lived to see the fruition of every hope and ambition and then folded his arms and closed his eyes in the long sleep that comes to us all, without a murmur or complaint, content with his life's work and leaving all to Him who doeth all things well. The writer can truthfully say, after being an intimate friend for nearly half a century, that we never heard man, woman or child say an unkind word of Liv Schooley. Everybody was his friend and he was a friend of everybody, ready to share the griefs of his neighbors and friends and rejoice with them in their joys. He and his wife reared a family whose names are synonyms of honesty, integrity and manhood. He could look back from the river's brink on a long life well spent. The funeral services were held at the New Jerusalem church at Pretty Prairie at 2:30 Monday, under the auspices of the I.O.O.F. of which he was an old and loved member. The burial was at Walnut Hill cemetery, Kingman, by the side of his father, mother, and sister. We close by offering all we have to give, not for ourself alone, but the pioneers and many,many friends. Our sincere heartfelt sympathies and condolences to those who mourn the passing of father, husband, and loved one. May He who gave the golden rule by which our brother's life was measured, soothe, sustain and comfort them as they pass through the valley of the shadows of their great loss and grief.
