Henry Skolrood was born May 13, 1859 in Norway. He was the third of ten children born to Mikal and Anna Skolrood. On April 28, 1866 his family immigrated from Norway on the ship "Anna Delius" and arrived in Quebec, Canada where they then journeyed to the large Norwegian settlement of Gratiot Village, Lafayette Co, WI. He grew up there on the family farm.

On Jan. 1, 1900 he was married to Annie Enright. They made their home in Gratiot, WI where he worked as a saloon keeper. Henry passed away June 21, 1909.

He is survived by wife, Annie Skolrood of Gratiot, WI; brothers, Martin Skolrood of Canada, Chris Skolrood, and Ole Skolrood Skolrood of Gratiot, WI; and sisters, Mrs. Christina Swanson, Mrs. Annie Hagen, Carrie Skolrood, Petro Skolrood and Tille Skolrood all of Gratiot, WI.

He was preceded in death by father, Mikal Skolrood in 1879; mother, Anna Skolrood in 1894; and brother, John Skolrood in 1904.

Observing from records, the Skolrood family initially immigrated to the US in 1866 under the name of Mikalson; for the 1870 census they were listed as Christoforson and by the 1880 census were using the name Skolrood, which was probably the Norwegian farm area (Scholrud or Skaalerud) they were from in Norway.
