1861 Isaac Schooley "Died, at the residence of his daughter, Nancy Parkins, near Cardington, Ohio, on the 24th of 12th mo., 1861, after a protracted illness and much suffering, Isaac Schooley, in the 91st year of his age, a member of Alum Creek Monthly Meeting. Our deceased friend was the father of William Schooley, concerning whom the memorial of Stillwater Monthly Meeting was published, in No. 33 of the current Vol. of Friends' Intelligencer. From the best information that can be got here of his birth, he was born in Fayette Co., Pa., on the 13th of 2d mo., 1771 ; was taken when young to Loudoun Co., Va., where he resided until hismarriage with Sarah Slocum inFriends' Meeting, at Goose Creek. Soon after they removed to Sandy Spring, in the State of Maryland. They returned again and settled in Loudoun Co., Va., where they resided until the Fall of 1815, when they moved to the newly settled country of Guernsey Co., Ohio, where they bought land in the wilderness, and made themselves a comfortable home,which they afterwards sold, and moved to where his decease took place, in the Spring of 1833, in order that they might help their children to homes on land of their own. Since that time they have lived with their children. His wife has survived him. After dwelling together in the connubial state with great harmony for over 68 years, she now testifies that " few have got along smoother than they." [1]
