      HERBERT M. KELLOGG, a prominent business man of Lopez, Sullivan county, is a
  representative of a well-known pioneer family, and his successful career shows
  that he has inherited the enterprise and thrift which characterized his
  ancestors. The Kellogg family became identified with Connecticut during the
  colonial period and the first of the name to settle in this state was Amasa, our
  subject's great-grandfather, a native of Connecticut who came to Bradford county
  on horseback when this region was a "howling wilderness." Ezra Kellogg, our
  subject's grandfather, was born in Hadley, Massachusetts, and reared in Bradford
  county, Pennsylvania, where he followed farming and lumbering for many years,
  his death occurring in Monroe township, on March 12, 1885, at the age of
  seventy-nine years. He was a man of influence and for thirty consecutive years
  held the office of commissioner in his township. He married Miss Lovina Sweet,
  who was born at Spencer, Tioga county, New York, and died in Monroe township,
  May 7, 1893, aged eighty-one. The fifty-six years of their wedded life were
  passed in the same house in which they began housekeeping. They had the
  following children: Ornaldo, deceased, who conducted a hotel at Towanda for many
  years; Morris, father of our subject; Guy, a farmer on the old homestead near
  Monroeton, Bradford county; Jemima, widow of Warren Brown, of Wyalusing;
  Brunette, deceased, who was the wife of Samuel Irving, of Liberty Corners,
  Bradford county; Amy, who died at the age of eighteen years; Berenice, wife of
  J. V. Rettenbury, a jeweler at Dushore.
  
      Morris Kellogg was born in Bradford county and grew to manhood on the old
  homestead. For a time he followed farming near New Albany, in which town he
  later engaged in the hotel business, which he carried on until his death in
  1886, at the age of forty-six years. Politically he was a Republican, but was
  never an aspirant for office. His wife, nee Minnie Haythorne, who died in 1885,
  at the age of thirty-nine years, was a native of East Franklin, Bradford county,
  and a daughter of Benjamin and Fanny (Knickerbocker) Haythorne. The children of
  this union were: Elizabeth May, wife of A. D. M. Henry, a traveling salesman, of
  Dushore; Herbert M.; Myrtle, wife of B. J. Ely, of Lopez; Fanny, Blanche and
  Lovina all reside in Dushore.
  
      Herbert M. Kellogg was born June 7, 1869, near New Albany, and during his
  youth enjoyed the educational advantages afforded by the graded schools of that
  place. When he was sixteen years old his father died and later he went to
  Dushore to learn the jeweler's trade with his uncle, J. V. Rettenbury, remaining
  three years. On October 29, 1890, he opened a branch store at Lopez for Mr.
  Rettenbury, and in January, 1892, he purchased the business, which he still
  carries on with marked success. In connection with the jewelry business he has a
  news depot and also keeps a large stock of toilet articles, patent medicines and
  similar commodities. He owns the store-building and a pleasant home in Lopez and
  is regarded as one of the substantial business men of the place. In politics he
  is a Republican and at present (1898) he is serving his second term as treasurer
  of Colley township.
  
      On July 14, 1891, our subject was married at Dushore, by G. H. Miller, to
  Miss Florence Scureman, and they have one son, Herbert M., who was born at
  Dushore, May 2, 1892. Mrs. Kellogg was born July 3, 1869, and is the daughter of
  Appolos E. and Lydia (Wilt) Scureman, and granddaughter of Henry and Eliza Ann
  (Clark) Scureman, of New Jersey. Her father was born in New Jersey, but for many
  years has been a citizen of Dushore. He married Miss Lydia Wilt, of Allentown,
  Pennsylvania, a daughter of Andrew and Mary (Swartz) Wilt. They were the parents
  of nine children, as follows: R. H., a miller at Luzerne; Francis E., died in
  childhood; Anna E., wife of Fred Sweet, living in Dushore; Mary Alice, wife of
  Langley Smith, of New York city; Emma H., wife of G. J. Clark, a lawyer at
  Wilkesbarre; Florence (Mrs. Kellogg); Mark A., of Dushore; Charles G., of
  Ithaca, New York, and George W., of Dushore.
