==Biography==
Ninnian Joseph Yule was born in the [[Hutchesontown]] district of [[Glasgow]] on 30 April 1892, the son of Elizabeth (née McKell; 1866–1919) and boiler maker Ninnian Yule (1866–1943). He emigrated to the United States with his parents on the steamship ''Bolivia'', arriving at the [[Port of New York and New Jersey|Port of New York]] on 2 August 1892.<ref name=obit/> They settled in [[Brooklyn]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=LosAngelsCANaturalization&h=1824838&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&usePUBJs=true&rhSource=1629|title = Join Ancestry®}}</ref> As a teenager, Yule performed in local [[vaudeville]] theatres and was later booked into leading [[burlesque]] wheels, including the [[Columbia Burlesque Wheel]], where he adopted the stage name Joe Yule.

In 1919, Yule married fellow vaudevillian Nellie W. Carter, a native of [[Kansas City, Missouri]]. In 1920, while they were appearing together in a Brooklyn production of ''[[A Gaiety Girl]]'', their son Ninnian Joseph Yule Jr. was born. He later became a Hollywood actor under the name [[Mickey Rooney]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Rooney |first=Mickey |title=i.e., an Autobiography |year=1965 |publisher=[[G. P. Putnam's Sons]] |location=New York |page=63 |asin=B0007DMBBQ}}</ref> The Yules separated in 1924 during a slump in vaudeville, and Carter moved with her son to Hollywood in 1925. Yule was naturalized as a American citizen in [[Los Angeles]] on 14 May 1943.

Yule died of a [[Myocardial infarction|heart attack]] on 30 March 1950 in [[Hollywood, California]].<ref name=obit>{{cite news |title=Joe Yule, 55, Father Of Mickey Rooney |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1950/03/31/archives/joe-yule-55-father-of-mickey-rooney.html |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=March 31, 1950 |url-access=subscription}}</ref> He was 57. Rooney arranged to have his father buried near Rooney's friend and longtime acting colleague, [[Wallace Beery]], who had died the year before. He wrote, "I thought it was fitting that these two comedians should rest in peace, side by side."<ref>{{cite book |last=Rooney |first=Mickey |title=Life is Too Short |publisher=[[Villard Books]] |year=1991 |page=[https://archive.org/details/lifeistooshortmi00roon/page/239 239] |isbn=978-0679401957 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/lifeistooshortmi00roon/page/239 }}</ref>
