Henry Clay Shook

  • hl_mss21-13_01_03_04.jpg
  • Henry Clay Shook (1848-1930) is the son of David Parker Shook and Parthany Joyce Shook, and the great grandson of Jacob Shook (1749-1839) and Isabella Weitzell Shook (1749-1834). He ran for a seat in the North Carolina Senate in 1892, was the associate editor of the “Clyde Register,” and did clerical work in Washington D.C. from around 1902 to likely his death in 1930. Jacob Shook, after serving in the American Revolutionary War, bought land and settled along the Pigeon River in what is now Clyde, N.C. Shook built the earliest known frame dwelling in the area which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Shook-Welch-Smathers House. This portrait was made by Nephew photography studio located at 493 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C.
