On Friday morning the sad news
spread through the town that Henry
Kellogg had passed suddenly away
the previous evening at the home of
his father. The end was not unex-
pected for Mr.. Kellogg had been in a
critical condition for several weeks
with disease of the heart. Henry
Kellogg was the elder son of George
F. and Lucinda Barton Kellogg and
was born in Dorset in 1862. Much of
his life was spent here where he has
always been most highly esteemed.
Several years ago he settled in the
West and entered the railroad bust
ness. He was an arduous worker,
faithful to every trust and was most
profoundly respected by his employ
ers, who evinced their appreciation
of his services by granting him UNI
usual privileges since the failure of
his health. MrsKellogg spent por
ton of the summer at his old home
here in hopes of regaining strength
but his health was still impaired
when. he returned to Chicago late in
the season. Continued illness finally
forced him to give up his position and
he returned to his fathers home
where his last days were passed. The
funeral occurred on Sunday, the sew
ere storm OBTAINING many at home
who would otherwise have paid their
last respects to one whose memory
will live long among wide circle of
| friends. The burial services were
conducted by Rev. George Gilbert, an
old time resident Of Dorset and friend
of the deceased. The pail bearers
were II. p. Gilbert, William Holley,
Herbert Williams, p H. Kent and
Byrne Harwood. The body rests in
the village cemetery. Besides his
father, G. F. Kellogg and a younger
brother, Arthur, Mr.. Kellogg is sur
vived by his widow who was Miss
Mildred Pryor of Omaha, Neb., and
little three year old daughter Mar
garet.
What comfort, when with clouds of
woe
The heart is burdened and must
weep,
