FILLMORE, Cyrus  - Greenfield Township
===========================================================================
Cyrus Fillmore was born in Locke Township, Cayuga County, N.Y. His parents,
Nathaniel and Phoebe Fillmore were natives of Bennington, Vt., and both
died at Aurora, Erie Co., N.Y.  Had his father lived but a few days longer
he would have reached the age of ninety-two.  Cyrus Fillmore was married in
Holland, Erie Co., N.Y., to Miss Laura Morey, on the 19th of May, 1825.
They resided in Erie County five or six years, then removed to Fremont, on
the Sandusky River, entered 160 acres of land, and to reach the same were
obliged to cut four miles of road.  After he had cleared twenty-five acres,
built three cabins and a log barn, he sold out and came to Indiana in 1837.
For about seven years they lived on rented property in this county,
purchasing 280 acres of his farm in this township in 1843.  Mr. Fillmore
now owns 311 acres, and makes a specialty of raising grain, having in one
year raised 2,000 bushels of wheat; also raises considerable stock.  He had
held the offices of Township Clerk and Trustee, the former a period of
three years, and the latter, twelve.  Himself and wife are members of the
Disciples' Church, and he is a Spiritualist.  They have four children -
Benjamin F., Almon L., Helen M. and Millard C.  Mrs. Fillmore is a native
of Otsego County, Milford Township, N.Y.  Her father, Matthew Morey, was
born in Connecticut, and her mother, Sally Morey, in Massachusetts.
