In 1842, Henry was one of the first settlers of Powesheik County in an area called Snook’s Grove. He is listed as an original entry (first to purchase) of 200 acres in Powesheik County on 11/4/1848. Snook was a blacksmith and during the 1849 Gold Rush, his house was located on a busy road and found much business repairing wagons and shoeing horses of those who were going West to seek their fortunes. When the travel along this road stopped, he sold his property and moved to Texas. According to the book Powesheik Heritage, Henry Snook sold all his property and moved to Texas in July of 1853. According to Betty Welliver’s information, Henry is buried in Decatur Co, Iowa. (check this out!) In 1880 census, Julie Snook Bodifield lists her parents’ birthplace as Virginia.
