From Genealogy of the Fillebrown Family : with biographical sketches
by Charles Bowdoin Fillebrown, Boston, Massachusetts, c. 1910
John Milton Fillebrown, son of William Cheever and Ann Maria (Read) Fillebrown, was born November 1, 1842, at Plattville, Wis. He was educated in the common school at Monroe, Wis., and was clerk in a general store until the fall of 1861, when he enlisted in the 5th Wisconsin Battery Light Artillery. He served for more than three years in the Army of the Cumberland, and was discharged at Atlanta, Ga. He married, September 22, 1868, Ellen M. Bridge, at Monroe, Wis., where he carried on in the drug business until the fall of 1874, when he moved with his wife and two children to Nebraska, and engaged in farming for about nine years. Later he was in the banking business for three years, when, on account of failing health, he moved with his family to Wyoming in the summer of 1889. After the death of his wife, October 19, 1891, he returned to Nebraska, and at the opening of what was called the "Cherokee Strip" in Oklahoma, made the race with the thousands of others and took a homestead in Garfield County. Not being physically able to carry on the farm himself, he sold it and took the position of deputy county treasurer, and later, deputy clerk of the District Court for Garfield County. At the first election held under statehood in Oklahoma he was elected clerk of the District Court to hold until January, 1911.
