Dorwin Kellogg Electrocuted at Home on Monday
Short Circuit From Radio Plug Causes Accident
Samuel Dorwin Kellogg, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Kellogg, prominent Rock Springs family, was electrocuted at about 5:20 Monday evening at the family home while he was in the act of plugging in the connection of a radio loudspeaker into its socket. Death was instantaneous.
Young Kellogg, who had been an invalid for several years, had been accustomed to take exercise in a heated pool that had been built into the basement of his home. Recently an extension from the radio in another room of the home to a loudspeaker in the pool room was installed. It is believed that a short circuit developed while he was in the pool attempting to plug in for a program. The shock thus developed proved too great for his weakened condition.
Funeral services will be conducted at 10 o’clock Thursday morning at the South Side Catholic church with Rev. S.A. Welsh officiating. Interment will be under direction of the Wildermuth Funeral Home.
Dorwin was born in Rock Springs Sept. 23, 1913. He graduated from Rock Springs high school with the class of 1930 and entered the University of Southern California. His illness overcame him soon after he entered college and he was forced to abandon his quest for higher education.
He was held in highest esteem by his classmates throughout his school life and took an active part in school activities.
Surviving him besides his parents are two brothers, Fred and Armand.
