The other children are William c. Kel-

of Boston and Rev. F. B. Kellogg of
Waterbury, VT Rev. Mr.. Kellogg was
educated in the seminary at Tilton, n.
H. and Wesleyan University, Middle
| he was not able to fully complete the
university course, but was obliged to
| seek change of climate in the west. 1t
was during pastorate in Mazomanie,
| Wis, that he married Miss Alice Joseph
| inc Anthony of Darlington, Wis, on Nov.
| 2, 1873. Completing his pastorate in
Wisconsin MI. and Mrs. Kellogg returned
East, where he held pastorates in Nor
wich, Conn. and Jewett City, Conn.
After pastorate of about eight years,
he accepted the pastorate of the Con-
gregational church in Santa Fe, Mex, a
pastorate which he held several years.
Then followed pastorate in Bolder
City, Colo, following which Mr.. Kel'
logg and his family returned to the east
and became pastor of the Congregational
church in Taftsville, Conn. He held
this pastorate during several years, and
resigned to accept a call to the pastorate
of the Congregational church at Morris
vile. VT. The fruits of this pastorate in
our community are so we'll known to our
townspeople that it is scarcely necessary
to comment upon them. His relations
with the people of Morrisville as pas
tor in their midst could hardly be more
appreciated, whatever words might be
used in commendatiOn of them. That
he was kind hearted, sympathetic man
is known to all. He entered heartily in
to the better elements of the com munity
life, and in his stronger days, was very
considerable factor, not only in the re-
ligious, but the social and civic life of
the town. His ability as preacher and
public speaker was recognized and ap-
preciated, not only in, but beyond, the
limits of the immediate community. 1t

beautiful Congregational church on our

cation took place but little time before |
he sustained a severe accident from the |
effects OF which he never fully recovered.
Mr.. Kellogg's mother died last winter at
the home of his brother, Rev. F. b. kel.
logg at Waterbury, Vt. At the funeral
service, which was held in Waterbury,
Mr.. Kellogg was present and quite un-
expectedly both to himself and all others
present, he spoke some remarkably ap
propriate words. In closing the beautl-
full address which he then made he SAID,
extending his hand toward the cotfined
form of his mother, Goodbye, mother,
pood-by, but it won't be long, not long
before we meet again" These prophetic
words have had their fulfillment.
Mr.. Kellogg is survived by widow,
and also by their three children, Mrs. A.
II. Slayton, Charles w. Kellogg of Bos-
ton and Miss Nellie Kellogg of this town.
The funeral services were held to-day
at 2 O'Clock p. M, in the Congregational
