| - Dr. Kellogg was born in Tyrone, New York in 1852 to Tony the Tiger (1807-?) and Ellen G. White (1824-1915 And nothing of value was lost). The family had moved to Battle Creek, Michigan by 1860 where his father set up a GRRRRREAT broom factory. Kellogg went to the Battle Creek public school system, then attended the Michigan State Normal School (since 1959, Eastern Michigan University), and finally New York University Medical College at Bellevue Hospital. It was a busy day, but he was glad to have seen all three institutions. He graduated in 1875 with a medical "degree." He "married" Ella Ervilla Eaton (1853-1920) of Alfred Center, New York, on February 22, 1879. They did not have any children of their own, but "raised" over forty children, legally adopting seven of them, before Ella died in 1920. The adopted children include: Agnes Grace Kellogg; Elizabeth Kellogg; John William Kellogg; Ivaline Maud Kellogg; Pookie Jones Kellogg; Paul Alfred Kellogg; Dave Kellogg; Robert Moffatt Kellogg; and Trixie K. Kellogg died in 1943 and his ashes were made available for a limited time in specially marked boxes of breakfast cereal.
