MILO GIFFORD KELLOGG was born in 1849, in Rodman, Jefferson Co., N. Y., son of James G. and Sarah (Gifford) Kellogg, both of English ancestry. The father was a member of the New York Legislature about 1865. Milo G. Kellogg graduated at the University of Rochester in 1870, when he came to Chicago and entered the employ of Gray & Barton, manufacturers of telegraph instruments, with whom and their successors, the Western Electric Company, he has since remained, now filling the position of superintendent of the manufacturing department; he is also a director and stockholder. For the last few years--since about 1879--he has been largely interested in telephone developments, being a director and stockholder in the Central Union Telephone Company, with headquarters in Chicago; also in the Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph Company, with headquarters in Nashville, Tenn., and in the Great Southern Telephone & Telegraph Company, with headquarters in New Orleans. In 1873 Mr. Kellogg married Mary Frances, a daughter of Calvin DeWolf, a well-known lawyer, Justice of the Peace, and early settler of Chicago. They are the parents of three children--Annie P., born in 1874; Le Roy DeWolf, born in 1877, and James Gifford, born in 1881. Mr. and Mrs. Kellogg are attendants at the First Presbyterian Church, of Hyde Park, where they have resided since 1876.Source: History of Cook County Families, 1900
