Review: New York Clipper, 24 April 1869, 22.

“Miss Kellogg, the thorough American prima donna, was born in Sumter, S.C., in 1842, of American parents. The lady was to have been the star of the evening at a concert in this city on the 12th inst., in aid of the Cubans, but severe indisposition and sore throat compelled her absence and a postponement, and the concert tickets were honorably returned.”
