Ira was the son of William & Ruby (Phelps) KELLOGG. He was baptized Nov 1838 Elizabethtown NY as a youth by Rev. J. H. Walden. He was licensed to preach May 1856 by the Baptist Church of Minerva NY. Then he served the church at Hague NY for a year 1857-1858 and was ordained there 1 Jul 1858. He was then pastor of the church at Crown Point NY for eight years, followed by eight years in Monkton and Huntington VT of which he wrote "...dividing my time between." The record of VT Baptist Ministers has been compiled and that of Ira Kellogg appears as follows: - MONKTON 1869-76; 85-1900; - HUNTINGTON 1869-76; 87; - CORNWALL 1877-80; - EAST WALLINGFORD 1880-81; - WESTON 1882, 83; and - EAST BURKE 1884. He was the last resident Baptist minister in Monkton.
"In 1867, Elder I. P. Kellogg became pastor and for ten years shepherded the little flock. Then for several years the church was again practically pastorless most of the time, till 1885, when I. P. Kellogg again became pastor, retaining that relation for fifteen years, resigning in 1901. after his resignation the church was supplied two or three years by Pastors Kinzie, of Bristol, and Safford, of Hinesburgh. Since 1904, the name of the church has disappeared from the minutes and the church is reckoned extinct after a life of one hundred and ten years."
The property was deeded in 1903 to the Baptist denomination in VT and they in turn deeded it a year later to the Methodist Society.
Ira completed a questionnaire*[1] around 1895 designed to get a brief ministerial record of the pastors. In answering the question about education, he wrote: "My education was obtained in the common school and Academy. Spent several years in teaching." At the end of the page when asked about other information he might want on record, he said: "I have served small Churches but in most of them seen souls converted and brought into the Church. Have always felt ce___eled [illegible] on account of the want of an Education. I have had the plasure [sic] of seeing by [my] Son enter the Ministry he is now Pastor at Fair Haven."
