- the above FT also has the family photo, as above

Elijah Fillmore - his father was Ebenezer Fillmore - who left the eastern part of the US and arrived in Traverse Co,
Michigan. It appears that at some piont Elijah Fillmore moved to Barron Co, WI [and a brother, Emmett Fillmore].
Emmett has some notes in the History of Barron Co, book, [page 915], but not Elijah. However, under Michael Olson notes
on page 981, it is recorded that Michael's daughter, Ovila M. is the wife of Elijah

Ovelia Aaus [from above family trees] and Elijah Fillmore had 6 children. They are recorded in the 1920 and 1930 US Census
but in the 1940 US Census she is now recorded married to Arthur Madison, and children Carl and Lila are living with them.
Also a daughter Gloria age 6 months and so born about Nov 1939. This record also notes that Arthur and Ovelia lived in the same
house in 1935. The above FTs record two marriages, but have Elijah's death as 1957, so Ovelia must have divorced but neither
FTs makes a note of this.

There are some other Family Trees on Ancestry, but none show Ovelia's second marriage and some have her parents incorrect.
