				HAROLD EDWARD KELLOGG, M. D. 

	Dr. Harold Edward Kellogg, engaged in the practice of medicine 
and surgery, as a member of the well known and highly regarded firm of 
Daniels, Goldman & Kellogg of Madison, has in his professional activity 
held to the highest standards and is constantly striving to broaden his 
knowledge along lines that mean efficiency. He was born in Lake county, 
South Dakota, March 11, 1883, and is a son of Edward B. and Nancy J. 
(Chappell) Kellogg, both of whom were natives of Vermont, in which 
state they were reared, their marriage being celebrated at East 
Richford. Dr. Kellogg comes of a family that has usually been connected 
with professional interests. His paternal grandfather, the Rev. Edward 
Kellogg, and two of his sons were ministers of the gospel and one of 
them at the time of his death was president of the South Lancaster 
(Mass.) conference, while the other son was for years assistant editor 
of the Review and Herald, then published in Battle Creek, Michigan, but 
now published ill Washington, D. C. He is also the editor of several 
religious works of note. Among the ancestors of the family there were 
also many physicians and lawyers of prominence, including Dr. J. H. 
Kellogg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium. 

	Edward B. Kellogg, the father, was a veteran of the Civil war, 
serving in Company 11, Sixteenth Regiment of Vermont Volunteer 
Infantry. Such was his loyalty and patriotism that after being mustered 
out of the service he remained with the Union forces and took part in 
the hotly contested battle of Gettysburg. He continued his residence in 
New England until 1880, when he came west to South Dakota and secured a 
homestead in Nunda township, Lake county, comprising the southwest 
quarter of section 7. Two or three years later he purchased a 
relinquishment on a tree claim adjoining his homestead and there be 
resided until 1906, when he removed to Madison, where he is now living 
retired, enjoying a rest which he has truly earned and richly deserves. 
He was among those who aided in the reclamation of this section of the 
state for the purposes of civilization, and his labors were far-
reaching and beneficial. 

	Reared under the parental roof, Dr. Kellogg mastered the branches 
of learning taught in the public schools and afterward attended the 
South Dakota State Normal School at Madison and Union College at 
Collegeview, Nebraska. He thus acquired a good literary education to 
serve as the foundation upon which to build the superstructure of 
professional learning, and in the fall of 1906 he matriculated in the 
Lincoln Medical College, from which he was graduated with the class of 
1910. He served as interne in Esther Hospital at Lincoln during the 
last year of his college work, thus putting his theoretical knowledge 
to the practical test and gaining that broad experience which only 
hospital work can give. In the following fall he entered upon the 
active duties of his profession in Madison, becoming the associate of 
Dr. W. E. Daniels, with whom he has since been connected, and the 
present firm of Daniels, Goldman & Kellogg ranks today with the 
foremost representatives of the profession in the state. 

	In April, 1904, Dr. Kellogg was married to Miss Pearl Mabel 
Cheney, of Ramona, South Dakota, and to them have been born four 
children, Lynn Edward, Ray Milton, Esther A., and Ruth Mabel. Dr. 
Kellogg is well known and popular in Masonic circles, belonging to the 
blue lodge at Madison; Cyrus Chapter, R. A. M., and he is also a Knight 
Templar and the Elks Lodge, No. 910, of Sioux Falls. He is a member of 
the Tau Alpha Epsilon, a Greek letter society, and he and his wife hold 
membership in the Seventh Day Adventists church. In politics he is a 
republican and is the present coroner of the county. Along more 
strictly professional lines his connection is with the National 
Eclectic Medical Society and the State Eclectic Medical Society. He 
stands today as one of the ablest and most successful physicians of 
Lake county. His knowledge of and familiarity with scientific 
principles is comprehensive and exact; moreover, he is most careful in 
the diagnosis of his cases, and he adds to his professional training a 
ready sympathy which aids him in a quick understanding of the condition 
of those under his care. He closely observes the ethical standards of 
the profession and enjoys the full respect of colleagues and 
contemporaries.
