MRS. PAULINA KELLOGG—Paulina Kellogg, wife of Amos Kellogg, was born in New Marlborough, Berkshire county, Massachusetts, May 21, 1782, and was married in the county of her birth July 30, 1805.  She was the daughter of Captain Walter Dean, who entered the Massachusetts line at the commencement of the Revolutionary war, and remained in the service during the entire war, leaving the service with a captain's commission.  Having the advantage of a common school education, she taught a district school one season, but, being the oldest daughter, early the death of her mother made it necessary for her to assume the entire charge of her father's large family until her own marriage; after which, the duties of a mother and the care of her own household devolved upon her.  Nine children were born to her, two of whom died in infancy, and seven reached maturity.
     Being a woman of vigorous health, she was able to and did perform most of the household labor for a large family, composed of the husband, children, and farm laborers engaged in clearing, fencing, farming, and keeping a village tavern, and manufactured the cloth and made much of the clothing for her family.  On the death of her husband, in 1830, she caused herself to be appointed administratrix of his estate, and with only the aid of her oldest son, then but eighteen years of age, she continued to keep the tavern, manage the business, and settle the estate; and to her good management and wise economy was her family largely indebted for the retention of a home to which all were very greatly attached.  After giving up the responsibilities of business to her son, who relied upon her advice and counsel in reference to important transactions with great confidence, and sought it for many years, she made her home with him, and spent much of her time with her several sons and daughters', rendering such assistance in nursing and caring for their young families as only a devoted mother and grandmother could.  Her affection for and kindly remembrance of her children, grand and great-grand-children, never faltered, as she was always impartial, and always anxious to aid them in any lawful enterprise.  Except the death of her husband, to whom she was ardently attached and a most devoted wife, the death of her youngest daughter Paulina, who married at the age of twenty and died at twenty-one, was the greatest affliction of her life.  Being her youngest daughter, delicate and lovely, recently married with fair prospects of a happy and prosperous life, her death was long and deeply mourned.  She died at Conneaut, in this county, on the 21st day of June, 1875, aged ninety-three years and one month, in the enjoyment of her mental faculties unimpaired, leaving behind her two aged sisters, two sons, and two daughters, twenty-four grandchildren, and nineteen great-grandchildren, to mourn her departure.  She was an affectionate and devoted wife, a kind, indulgent, and wise mother, and in all relations of life performed her duties with a conscientious devotion to the right.
