KELLOGG - Mrs. Ella Annette Kellogg, nee AUSTIN, was born in Berkshire, Vt., Oct. 5, 1841; and died in Mountain View, Calif., Aug. 3, 1930. When but twelve years of age, she, with her father and mother, brothers and sisters, heard the Advent Faith proclaimed, and they all heartily accepted it. On Dec. 15, 1864, sister AUSTIN was united in marriage to the late H.W. KELLOGG, so well known as one of the prominent workers in this cause in its early history. To Brother and Sister KELLOGG were born five children; Herbert P. KELLOGG, who died in 1906; Frank Burton KELLOGG, who died in 1923; and Henry Ertzen KELLOGG, now residing in Battle Creek, Mich.; Abbie Caroline NORTON, living in Mountain View, Calif.,; and Carl Austin KELLOGG, living in New York City. In 1873  Brother KELLOGG was called to Battle Creek, Mich., to act as manager of the Review and Herald Publishing Association. It was not until five years later that his wife was able to leave their farm in Vermont and join her husband in Battle Creek. Their associations with Brother and Sister WHITE were very intimate and among the things deeply impressed upon their minds, as related by Sister KELLOGG, were the experiences of seeing Sister WHITE in vision. Brother and Sister KELLOGG sacrificed in every way they could to place means in the cause. Their home in Battle Creek was open to all of our people and workers in those early pioneer days when homes at our headquarters meant so much. In 1881, when Brother WHITE died, both Brother and Sister KELLOGG were present at his deathbed and his body lay in state in Brother Kellogg's home in Battle Creek until the funeral services, a week later. In 1885 Brother KELLOGG was again called to leave his wife in Battle Creek. While he went to Basel, Switzerland to build and assist in organizing the publishing house there. Then he went on to Christiania, Norway, and to England. Arranging for the builders, buying the machinery, and otherwise equipping these institutions that have meant so much in the progress of this work. In England he was associated with Brother M.C. WILCOX, so well known among us as editor of the "Signs of the Times" and otherwise prominently connected with this great cause. When they had padded their seventieth milestone. Brother and Sister KELLOGG came to Mountain View in 1911. Where they lived until Brother Kellogg's death in this place; after which the daughter Abbie Caroline NORTON, tenderly cared for her mother until she also passed away. Few people among us have enjoyed the privilege of spanning the work of this message almost from its beginning to this present year; and one striking thing in connection with Sister Kellogg was the clearness of her mind, and the deep interest she took in the progress of the message. The funeral services were conducted by M.C. WILCOX, an old-time and intimate friend of the family; H.M.J. RICHARDS, pastor of the Mountain View Church; and the writer A.O. TAIT.
