| Notes |
- "History of Mower County" 1884
Dr. Ellen M. (Backus) Fairbanks graduated from the Woman's Medical College, Chicago, in the class of 1881. She had directed her attention to the study of medicine a number of years previous to attending lectures in Chicago, and for one year preceding that time was under the immediate instruction of Dr. Samuel P. Thornhill.
Doctor Fairbanks combines a thorough medical and surgical education, with a natural adeptness to the profession. And her professional career has established the fact that women in the school of medicine may successfully compete with the opposite sex.
She was born in the town of Royalton, Windsor County, Vermont in 1834. Her maiden name was Ellen M. Backus. She was married in Vermont to Alonso Fairbanks. They removed from Vermont to La Salle County, Illinois in 1853, and came to Austin from Otranto, Mitchell County Iowa, in 1859.
