History
Murray McLean Kellough was born on a farm near Lake Egmont, Nova Scotia, on 21 February 1874, the youngest son of William and Elizabeth Kellough. As a young man he moved to Halifax and worked in the grocery business. He subsequently worked in the same field in Boston and Winnipeg. He lost his Winnipeg business during the Great Depression and subsequently worked a small farm in Selkirk, Manitoba, growing experimental crops and studying at the University of Manitoba. On 30 January 1907 he married Jessie Russell Phillips of Halifax and together they had three children. His wife died on 21 January 1919 from influenza and his children were sent back to Nova Scotia for a year. Thereafter, they returned and his wife's older sister, Annie Blanche Phillips, helped to raise the children. Ultimately, Murray Kellough moved back to a small farm on the edge of Winnipeg. He died there on 27 July 1965.
