The TALES you probably never heard about

Dr. J.W. Schooley, M.D.

[Souvenir of the Town of Welland, Issued August 22, 1902 by the Welland Telegraph, Sears & Sawle, Publishers]

Morally and ethically, the medical fraternity are debarred from the public notoriety accorded public officials or benefactors in general but as this volume is simply and purely a resume of the town of Welland and its denizens, professionally or commercially engaged, it may not be out of place to say that Dr. J.W. Schooley, whose handsome residence is on Division Street, with convenient office located therein, is a native of Welland county, and acquired an elementary education from its public schools, with an advanced course in the high school. Subsequently he attended the University of Vermont at Burlington, from which he graduated in 1862, and was a graduate of Rolph’s School, or medical department of the Victoria University of Toronto in 1863, since which time he has, with but little exception been in practice in Welland. The  doctor has always evinced a very active interest in educational interests, and was for two years an instructor in the High School at Drummondville, and has been chairman of the High School Board of Welland, as also a member of the Public School Board, and is at present health officer of the town. Dr. Schooley is also a member of the Examining Board of the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons and is one of Welland’s most popular citizens, ever ready to aid in the town’s welfare.
