   HENRY WATERS KELLOGG.—The subject of this sketch is now one of the
enterprising firm of Thompson & Kellogg, at Spanish Ranch. He is the second son
of a family of seven children of Otis and Mary Kellogg of Colchester, New London
county, Connecticut. The names of the family in the order they were born are
Abner, Henry W., Lydia, Caroline, John, Mary, and Charles. The last was killed
in the first battle of Bull Run. Henry W. was born December 5, 1822, in
Colchester, Connecticut. His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm. When
sixteen years aid he went to Cazenova, New York, and learned the blacksmithing
trade, and later that of a molder. It was in this work that he was accidentally
burned with molten metal. He sailed from New York for San Francisco in 1849, and
arrived on the sixteenth of January, 1850. He was in Sacramento during the great
flood, and repaired at once to Bidwell's bar, where he remained until February
1,1851, when, in company with Millard H. Presby and George W. Chase, he went to
Rich bar. This was the starvation winter in California, and Mr. Kellogg says he
paid three dollars per pound for flour, and carried it on his back from Spanish
Ranch. In 1852 he went to Santa Clara valley, and opened a blacksmith shop near
Redwood city. In 1854 he returned to the mines at Fales' hill, where he worked
with John Percy. In 1856 he removed to Spanish Ranch, and went into business
with Richard Thompson, his present partner. May 16, 1864, Mr. Kellogg was united
in marriage to Mary E. Carlisle, on Silver creek. By this union there were four
children, two of whom are living, and attending school in the east. He was
married a second time to Eleanor E. Keough, on the sixth of September, 1881. Mr.
Kellogg is a member of the Odd Fellows lodge at Quincy.
