R.
H. KELLOGG, a well-known business man and progressive and
enterprising citizen of Delaware, which city has been his home for a
number of years, has been connected with the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance Company since 1880. Mr. Kellogg was born at
Erie, Pennsylvania, and is a son of Dr. S. R. and Lucy (Church)
Kellogg.
On both sides Mr. Kellogg comes
from old Colonial families whose names have been connected with New
England history for generations. Dr. S. R. Kellogg was
born at Sheffield, Massachusetts, as was his father, Silas Kellogg.
The latter, with four brothers, served in the Revolutionary War and
prior to that, Lieut. Joseph Kellogg, of Deerfield,
Massachusetts, was a noted Indian fighter and the old Kellogg
homestead, on which land stood the block house at Sheffield, was once
the scene of many savage conflicts. This land has never gone out
of the family nor has the old Indian title been changed.
R. H. Kellogg completed his High school
education at Hartford, Connecticut, and then studied pharmacy, but
before he had an opportunity to practice his profession to any great
degree, the Civil War came upon the county, and in 1862 he enlisted as
a private in the Sixteenth Regiment of Connecticut Volunteers, made up
at Hartford. This regiment became a part of General Burnside's
corps, and saw service in Virginia and the Carolinas, principally.
Mr. Kellogg participated in the battles of Antietam,
Fredericksburg, Suffolk and the siege of Plymouth. At that point
the whole regiment (excepting one company) was captured by the
Confederates and he remained a prisoner of war for nearly eight
months, confined mainly at Andersonville. He was finally paroled
and exchanged and subsequently was mustered out of the service in
June, 1865, having been in the army three years, lacking a few days.
His rank was then that of sergeant-major, following promotion from
private to sergeant.
After the close of the war, Mr. Kellogg followed
the drug business for about one year and then became interested in
life insurance, and with the exception of seven years, during which he
was engaged in the manufacture of paper, in Connecticut, he has been
in insurance. After his appointment as general agent he worked
as such for the Connecticut Mutual until 1883, when he came to
Cincinnati as general agent of Ohio, and in 1886 his powers were
further extended, he being made district superintendent of agencies
for Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia, a position he still fills.
In 1868, Mr. Kellogg was married to Amelia C.
Gallup, and they have four children, namely: Florence; Emily,
who married Charles W. Riddle, residing in Delaware;
Anna F., who is a teacher in the Delaware public schools; and
Rossiter, residing at Toronto, Canada, where he is in a machinery
business. Mr. Kellogg and family belong to the
Presbyterian Church and he is a member of the board of trustees.
His fraternal relations include the Royal Arch Masons and he belongs
also to the Grand Army of the Republic, the New England Society, and
the Army and Navy Club of Connecticut. His business offices are
at No. 56½ North Sandusky Street.
