Frank Earle Schoonover (August 19, 1877 – September 1, 1972) was an American illustrator who worked in Wilmington, Delaware.

[2][5] Schoonover helped to organize what is now the Delaware Art Museum and was chairman of the fundraising committee charged with acquiring works by Howard Pyle.

He also gave art lessons, established a small art school in his studio, designed stained glass windows, and dabbled in science fiction art (illustrating Edgar Rice Burroughs’ A Princess of Mars), he was known locally as the “Dean of Delaware Artists.” Schoonover’s name received national attention in 2011 when his painting of World War I hero Alvin C. York was returned to York’s home state of Tennessee.

Businessman and philanthropist Allan Jones of Cleveland, Tennessee, purchased the painting on Veteran’s Day from the Blakeslee Gallery in Wellington, Florida.

"[7] Prior to being acquired by Jones, the painting was on loan to the 82nd Airborne Division War Memorial Museum.
