HON. WILLIAM W. KELLOGG.—The subject of this sketch was born in 1838, in
Berkshire county, Massachusetts. Twenty years thereafter he came to California,
settling in Plumas county in the fall of 1858, locating at Rich Bar. He engaged
in raining for a few years, and became very popular. Was elected constable, and
then justice of the peace, of Rich Bar township. In 1861 he was-elected county
assessor, and in 1863 county clerk. Was editor and publisher of the Quincy Union
about eight years. In 1873 he was admitted to practice law, and is successful as
a practitioner. In 1880 the suffrages of the people made him representative to
the State legislature. This democratic assemblyman, although a resident of a
pronounced republican district, was elected by a large majority. The home
popularity of Assemblyman Kellogg was fully maintained at Sacramento, where he
was an influential member, and a faithful worker in the interest of his
constituents and the people. Mr. Kellogg is pre-eminently a self-made man, of
that distinctive type peculiar to the Sierra; and those who know him best esteem
him most. A portrait of Mr. Kellogg appears on another page.
