Levi H. Kellogg - He was born in Sheffield, Berkshire County, Mass., Aug. 24, 1817. When he was four years of age, his parents moved to Oneida County, New York, where he remained until the age of sixteen, when he decided to go farther West. His educational advantages, up to this period, were such as the common schools of that day afforded. Early in life he manifested a disposition to prepare himself for a useful life-work. He went to Michigan, the journey occupying three weeks of tedious travel. He resided there about fourteen years, actively engaged in the toil that subsequently resulted in affluence, the meanwhile attending to the cultivation of his mind. In 1847 he moved to Milwaukee, where he engaged in commercial life, and was always alive to every vital interest touching the prosperity of that city. He has been everywhere regarded as a man of superior business attainments, a man of integrity, liberal, and sound in every respect. He is remembered in Milwaukee, and in many other places, by young men who have been assisted and encouraged by him. He was enabled, through honest industry, to acquire an abundance of this world's goods. In the early days of Milwaukee, he became connected with the order of Odd-Fellows, and rose, in a short time, to a high position in that body. He manifested great interest in the promulgation of the principles of the order, and established many lodges in the State. There is scarcely a member of the order in the State who is not familiar with the name and influence of Mr. Kellegg. He was known as of a benevolent disposition; and, during his last illness, those who had been favored by him in business did not forget their benefactor in the hour of his affliction. He died at Milwaukee, Dec. 12, 1873, leaving a name that is dear to those that knew him.
