Mrs. Kellogg was always ready to lend
a helping hand in caring for the sick, adj

For several years Mrs. Kellogg has
been in religious belief Spiritualist,
fully believing that our departed friends
surround us, knowing our joys and sor-
rows. For several months her health
has been such as to confne her to her
house. Her enjoyment has been in be-
iieving that the end Of this life was an
entrance to a higher one where we shall
meet all our loved ones gone before.
Mrs. Kellogg's life work is done the
volume Of her life is closed; but from its |
pages can be gathered examples worthy |
Of imitation in her kindly acts of charity |
toward all, in her endeavor to pursue |
the right according to the dictation of
conscientious duty in the discharge of
life work. Many burdened heart will |
remember Mrs. Kellogg for kind words
and generous acts bestowed, and the
community in which she resided can
but feel in her death bereavement,
shared by all, as great loss to the COM
munity.
The services at the house lat her re-
quest) were short. Rev. 0. B. Thayer
read comforting Bible selections. The |
choir sang beautifully, closing with,
When the mists are cleared away"
etc.
The funeral sermon was delivered at |
the church last Sunday to a crowded |
house, from the text, He is dead, yet |
speaketh.". Hebrews, la.
