DEATH OF EDWARD SCHOONOVER (1827-1902)
Edward Schoonover, one of the earliest and best known citizens of Boone, died at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Hattie Burgess, in Omaha, September 14th and the remains were brought to Boone, Monday, September 15th, 1902.
Mr. Schoonover was the oldest brother of Chas. Schoonover and Mrs. Phil Pickering of this city, of John U. Schoonover of Reno County, Kan. and Mrs. Burgess of Omaha. A younger brother, George, an old soldier, formerly editor of the Story County Reveille, and recorder of Story county, died in Nevada about 1868.
Edward Schoonover was born in Tioga County, N.Y. in the early 1840's, coming as far west as Ohio. They came to Oskaloosa in 1855, and in 1856 to Nevada. In 1862-3-4-5 Mr. Schoonover was with the dry goods firm of Leach and Wood of Marshalltwon, but came to Boone in 1866. While in Boone he was part of the time employed in a clothing store, and part of the time a member of the firm of Ives & Schoonover, druggist. In 1871 he went to Topeka, Kansas, where he spent about ten years. Several years more were spent in Kansas at Abilene and Clay Center, until about 1888, when both he and his wife joined the family of his sister, Mrs. Burgess, in Salt Lake City. In 1890 both families came to Omaha where they have resided ever since. About eight years ago his wife died and was buried in Linwood Cemetery.
He was married in N.Y., but no children were ever born to them.
Mr. Schoonover was rather short of stature, always tidily and neatly dressed, and very social and companionable with all acquaintances. None remember him but with the most kindly feelings.
The bearers who conveyed him to his last resting place in the Boone cemetery were his personal friends of over 30 years ago, as follows: Henry Goeppinger, A. P. Fogg, Hawley Main, Chas. Tucker, J. R. Crary and W. B. Gallup.
