H. B. KELLOGG. Belonging to a family that has made Langlade County its home since the days of the first pioneers in 1875 and members of which have been identified with the substantial growth of this section of the state since then is H. B. Kellogg, President of the T. D. Kellogg Lumber & Manufacturing Company, a pioneer Antigo institution. H. B. Kellogg was born in Rockton, Illinois, on July 4th, 1859, the son of Thomas David and Harriet (Buffum) Kellogg. His father was a native of Connecticut and Mrs. Kellogg was a native of New York state.
When but two years old Mr. Kellogg moved with his parents to Appleton, Outagamie County, Wisconsin, where his father was engaged in the operation of a first class flour mill. The Kellogg family moved from Ap­pleton to Stevensville, located in the same county and it was at that place and the Appleton High School where young Kellogg received his education.
In the year 1875 Thomas D. Kellogg moved to the territory in Oconto County, later to become New Coun­ty, and that year he rented a saw mill from Thomas M. Dobbs, who had erected the first mill in the county two years previously, 1873. Mr. Kellogg moved the mill to the “burnt section” near Langlade and later to Lily, then called New. The old Kellogg place on the Military Road is still pointed out to passers-by at this day as the “Kellogg farm”. Horace B. Kellogg began as a teacher in the terri­tory that was to become Langlade County, he being one of the very first teachers in the first Langlade Coun­ty school, located on Section 3, Township 31, Range 14 East. He also taught at Gagen, his pupils being James, Henry and John Gagen. Since then he has followed the lumber business, being initiated into that industry in the days of the pine conquests on the Wolf River. He logged on both the Wolf River and Pickerel Creek, being associated with his father, T. D. Kellogg, up to the time of the latter’s death, in 1903.The Kelloggs moved to Antigo in March, 1883, and the following winter T. D. Kellogg and his son purchased the old Novotny Brothers Mill, this being the first sawmill in Antigo. They operated a mill for many years on this site, selling in 1905 to J. H. Worden.
The T. D. Kellogg Lumber & Manufacturing Com­pany was organized with T. D. Kellogg as President in 1890 and he remained at the head of that firm until his death. H. B. Kellogg has since been President of the concern, which has offices at 619 Superior street, Antigo. Besides being at the head of a large lumber industry Mr. Kellogg is identified with the First Na­tional Bank of Antigo, and since July, 1922, has been President of that institution. He previously served as Vice President, being selected for that office in 1902, He has been a director of the bank since 1910. Mr. Kellogg has also served as a member of the Board of Education, as did his father, after whom the Kellogg (First Ward) is named. Fraternally he is a member of the Masonic orders.
June 20, 1883, Mr. Kellogg was married to Mary Bauter at Appleton. Four children were born to this union, namely, Helen, who died in 1904, and who is buried beside her grandparents and her great-grandpar­ents, Mr. and Mrs. Hudson Kellogg, in the Kellogg family lot in the Antigo cemetery; Myrtie V. now Mrs. Ralph Krause, of Seattle, Washington; Thomas D. Superintendent of the Polar mills of the T. D. Kel­logg concern; and Horace B., Jr., who assists his father in the management of the Antigo office.
During the World War the Kellogg’s proved themselves stern patriots. Both Thomas D. and Horace, Jr., served in the U. S. Army and were honorably dis­charged in 1918 and 1919 respectively.
