AI notes: Will Keith Kellogg, the founder of the Kellogg Company and a pioneer of the breakfast cereal industry, died on October 6, 1951, in Battle Creek, Michigan, at the age of 91 from natural causes. Originally working with his brother, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, Will helped develop a flaked cereal process that would revolutionize the American breakfast. After a dispute with his brother over the commercialization of the cereal, he went on to establish the Kellogg Company in 1906, launching corn flakes as a mass-market product. Beyond his business achievements, Kellogg became a significant philanthropist, creating the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in 1930 to support children's health, education, and welfare—a legacy that endures today. His death marked the end of a transformative life that not only changed eating habits across the world but also contributed meaningfully to social welfare and public health.
