Rufus “Rufe” Bryan Shook (1868-1938), the son of David Parker Shook and Parthany Joyce Shook, is standing in a field with a chicken nearby. He is the great grandson of Jacob Shook (1749-1839) and Isabella Weitzell Shook (1749-1834). After serving in the American Revolutionary War, Jacob Shook and his wife 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.
