Chauncey Kellogg came to Greenfield while it was yet a part of Baraboo, helped organize the town, and was its first School Superintendent, which office he held many years, greatly advancing the interest of public instruction; he served his own district as Clerk and Director, helping to make it the best school of the town. Mr. Kellogg was educated at the Cheshire Academy, and adheres to the Episcopal Church, where his family worships; he is a member of the Republican party. His present residence on Sec. 32, where he has 135 acres of choice land, is one of the nicest sites on Peck's Prairie, and marks a home of intelligence and refinement, so pleasant that all his children - two sons, George T. and Archibald, and two daughters, Mary A. and Kate, seem to prefer abiding there.
