Sarah Frances Taylor and Henry Snowgoose were married July 24, 1867 in Mahaska County, Iowa and had two children - Daniel Voorhees Snowgoose born June 14, 1868 and John Snowgoose born January 1870. Sarah Snowgoose died April 22, 1870 in Mahaska County, Iowa. Henry Snowgoose married Amanda Perkins on October 10, 1872 in Mahaska County, Iowa.
Henry and his wife Amanda (Perkins) Snowgoose came to Oregon in 1891, bringing with them a carload of household goods and stock which they moved to Keno from Ager, California, that being the nearest railroad station. Five days after their arrival a disastrous fire destroyed most of the business houses of Keno. In 1892 he purchased property on the banks of Klamath River, on which stood a horse barn which was used to serve stages running in this section and was one of the landmarks hereabouts. He later bought a home for his family on the old Whittle estate, and, in 1897, made a wing dam on Klamath River on the Connolly property about 9 miles west of Keno, where he installed machinery in a lumber mill he had built and which he operated for five years. Later he moved the mill machinery to Keno and subsequently sold to A.A. Kinney; the building burned in 1906. Henry Snowgoose served as Justice of the Peace in Keno from about 1908 until his death on July 28, 1928. During his lifetime he had set aside an acre of ground bordering the highway to be used as a public cemetery where persons could be buried without cost. His wife had died in 1917 and is buried in the Keno Cemetery.
