OriginalNotes: History of Fayette County, Indiana (Warner, Beers and Co., 1885) John M. Kellum, b. in Fayette Co. 8 Aug. 1845 son of John and Jane (Morrow) Kellum); raised on a farm until age 18; learned trade of carriage painting in 1864 which his continued until 1872 when he took up the art of photography. He began the latter business in Komomo in 1872. Married twice: 19 Oct  1869 to Alice Hunt (she died in 1870, their one child died 6 months later); 16 Oct. 1873 he married Carrie Craver and they have one sone Claude. In the practice of his chosen art Mr. Kellum has not a rival in southeastern Indiana, his work in all its details showing a true perception of artistic effects, its tone and finish being seldom surpassed by metropolitan artists. His management of light is excellent, while the effect of ease and grace in position is not less thoroughly understood. In short, Mr. Kellum stands well in the front rank among the members of his calling, and truly merits the liberal patronage which an appreciative public is bestowing upon him.
