Reuben Newton Schooling

Schooling Funeral Held Here Monday

Funeral services were held at the Carnegie cemetery at 1:30 p.m. Monday for R.N. Schooling, 84, former well known early day farmer and merchant of the Neola and Carnegie communities, who died Sunday at the home of his son, E.T. Schooling, near McComb.

Rev. E.L. Kirtley, pastor of the First Christian church, conducted the services here.

Coming to Oklahoma in 1901, Mr. Schooling located six miles south and three east of Carnegie where he established a general store and the post office of Neola, serving as postmaster. He later moved to Carnegie where he and his son, E.T. Schooling, built and operated a flour mill at the east end of Main street where the Carnegie Ice Co. is now located. Nine years ago he returned to the north locating in Iowa where he lived until 1932 when he came back to this state where he has since lived.

Rueben Newton Schooling was born April 9, 1850 in eastern Illinois, near Terra Haute, Ind. At the age of two his family moved to Iowa where he lived until coming to Oklahoma.

He was married to Miss Margaret Cumming in 1872. She died at Carnegie in 1907. He was married a second time to Sarah Root in 1917 who also preceded him in death, passing away in Iowa in 1932.

He is survived by four children, a daughter, Mrs. Ina Boyle, Ardmore; E.T. Schooling, McComb; Roscoe Schooling, Tulsa; and Ralph Schooling, Pawhuska, besides other relatives.

Members of the family here for the funeral included Mr. and Mrs. E.T. Schooling, their daughters, Mrs. Letta Booth and Miss Hazel Schooling, and their son, Pat; Miss Margaret Boyle, Oklahoma City, and Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Schooling.
