Frederick w. Kellogg, recent gradu.
ate of Yale College, and although com
paratively young man, one who had dis
tinguished himself by his religious and
literary work, died at New Haven, Con-
necticut, Monday, November 10, of ty-
phoid fever, after an illness of onl y two
weeks. The deceased was the only son
of our former townsman, J. d. Kellogg,
of Red Wing, Minnesota, and was born
in this city, October 3O,i1S6O, residing
here with his parents until about 4 years
Ct age. The bereaved father who is
called upon to mourn the untimely death
OF his bright, promising son, IN whom he
had centered so much hope of brilliant
and useful future, will have the warm
sympathy of large circle of friends
here. The New Haven Evening Register
of Monday, November 10, has the follow
ing relative to the sad event:
President Porter announced the death of
Fred w. Kellogg this morning in the Chapel,
and gave notice of the funeral, which will be
held this afternoon at half past |, in Bsttell
chapel
Mr.. kellogg, had been sick with typhoid fever
for the past few weeks, and it was not until Fri
day Of last week, that the friends and classmates
who were nursing him became alarmed. His
condition was then so critical that his father
was telegraphed for in Minnesota, and arrived
in this city yesterday, and was able to see his
son before he died. The death of young man.
one in the full possession Of all that this world
holds dear, is always peculiarly sad, and where
one such as Mr.. Kellogg, who had just gradual
ed with well deserved honors, and who was Just
entering upon his world life, it is all the more
painful
somewhat older than the rest of his class and
had some what more experience than they, mas
much as he had taught school the year before
entering, and therefore did not become known
as soon in the class as he deserved, but after
wards owing to his quiet, gentlemanly characi-
er, his uniform courtesy to ALL and his Christian
work, he became much better known and re-
spected by these who appreciated his worth.
Throughout his entire college course his religi-
Gus work was that of pure, sincere Christian
not the obtrusive outward show that Is so often
seen here, but a quiet, steadfast adherence to
what he considered right. His work i'll the
Berkeley association was indicative of his char
acter. In junior year Mr.. Kellogg, by an essay
on John Henry Newman, soaably demonstrated
his ability as a writer that he obtained the Yale
literary medal. And at the election for that
magazine was shown by his class their apprecia-
ton of his merit by their voting for him, and
his Obtaining thereby one of the editorships on
that magazine. In senior year.he became better
known and his influence in the class was one
that was gained by reason of deserved and rec
Ognized ability. Owing to his careful, conscien-
tiouS work throughout his course, he obtained
the second rank i'll the class and delivered the
salutatory Grafton at commencement last June.
MI. Kellogg was undoubtedly one of the most
brilliant men in his class, socially one of the
most retiring but those that knew him feel sim
cerely that in his course no regret can be found.
His upright conscientious bearing bore no b!em-
ishes, and his memory will ever be honored by
not only his classmates, but all who ever knew
him.
Mr.. Kellogg with the body of his son
passed through here last Wednesday af-
ternoon on his way to Red Wing, where
the funeral took place Friday afternoon
from Christs Episcopal church, and the
remains laid beside the mother of the de-
ceased who had gone to her reward few
years before.
