Middle Ga Argus
Major Kellogg Dead

Early this morning the dead body of Major Uriah Kellog was found lying in the 
road just beyond the residence of Mr. Meade Hendrick.  It is well known that 
Mr. Kellogg had long been a citizen of this county, having located in Jackson 
when he was a young man.  He came here from Hartford, Conn.
He married a sister to Messrs. Alex and Matt Wilkinson.  His wife died several 
years ago and his children – several boys, are scattered abroad.  Several years 
ago he returned to his native state and remained till about five months ago 
when he again appeared on our streets.  Since that time he has been wondering 
around in a dejected and pitiable condition, hardly able to go from the effects 
of rheumatism.  He had no regular home, but stayed wherever he could find 
shelter, indulging in drink whenever he could get it.  He had been drinking on 
yesterday afternoon from the effects of which he fell by the roadside and died 
from exposure.

Coroner T. F. Clark held an inquest over the remains this morning and the jury 
returned a verdict in accordance with the above.  He will be buried today in 
the city cemetery.  He lacked two days of being 57 years of age.
