Madden served in both high level staff positions, including chief quartermaster of the Pancho Villa Expedition, and important commands, including the 26th Infantry Regiment and the Hawaiian Division's 21st Infantry Brigade.
A native of Sacramento, California, Madden attended the Saint Matthew's Hall military boarding school, the Lincoln School in San Francisco, and San Francisco's Boys' High School. During his high school years, Madden belonged to the Cadet Company, a unit of students that performed duty with the 1st Regiment of the California National Guard, and he attained the rank of first lieutenant. After his 1890 graduation, Madden joined the 1st Regiment's Company C, in which he attained the rank of corporal. From 1890 to 1891, he attended the University of California, Berkeley.
In 1891, Madden's application for a commission in the United States Army was approved and he was appointed a second lieutenant of Infantry. Initially assigned to the 5th Infantry Regiment, Madden advanced through the ranks, primarily as a member of the 29th Infantry Regiment and in temporary Quartermaster assignments. He took part in the Spanish–American War, United States Military Government in Cuba, and Philippine–American War. During the Pancho Villa Expedition, Madden served as chief quartermaster. At the start of World War I, he served as commander of the Advance Section for the Services of Supply, American Expeditionary Forces, and he was later assigned as assistant to the chief quartermaster of the American Expeditionary Forces with headquarters in Paris. During the war he received promotion to temporary brigadier general. After the war, he received the Legion of Honor (Officer) from France.
Madden's post-war assignments included command of the 19th Infantry Regiment, 26th Infantry Regiment and 21st Infantry Brigade. He retired in 1934 upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 64, and was a resident of the Marlborough Hotel in East Orange, New Jersey. He died in Staten Island, New York on May 19, 1946. Madden was buried at Sacramento Historic City Cemetery in Sacramento.
Early life
John Fitz Madden was born in Sacramento, California on March 30, 1870, the son of Jerome and Margaret (Evans) Madden.[2] He was raised in San Francisco, and was educated at San Mateo's Saint Matthew's Hall military boarding school, the Lincoln School in San Francisco, and San Francisco's Boys' High School, from which he graduated in 1890.[2][3] While in high school, Madden was active in the Cadet Company, a unit of students commanded by William Renwick Smedberg Jr. with the rank of captain, in which Madden served as first lieutenant.[4] The Cadet Company performed duty with the 1st Regiment of the California National Guard, which facilitated Madden's post-high school entry into the National Guard.[5]
After graduating from high school, Madden attended the University of California, Berkeley from 1890 to 1891, where he took the literary course at the College of Letters and Science.[3] While attending college, Madden served in the California National Guard's Company C, 1st Infantry Regiment, in which he attained the rank of corporal.[6] In 1891, he applied for a commission in the United States Army.[6] He performed successfully on the examination,[lower-alpha 1] and received his commission as a second lieutenant of Infantry.[7] After he received his commission, his National Guard company honored him by electing him a life member.[8]
Start of career
In October 1891, Madden was assigned to the 5th Infantry Regiment at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.[9] In January 1892, Madden voluntarily accompanied Troop K, 3rd Cavalry, commanded by George King Hunter, during the U.S. response to crossings of the Mexico–United States border by Mexican participants in the Garza Revolution.[8] In March 1894, Madden was reassigned to duty at St. Francis Barracks, Florida.[10]
In June 1895, Madden was selected to attend the two-year course at the Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Infantry and Cavalry School,[11] and he graduated in June 1897.[12] He was promoted to first lieutenant in July 1898.[13] During the Spanish–American War, 5th Infantry detachments manned coastal defenses along the Gulf of Mexico from Galveston, Texas to Dry Tortugas, Florida, and Madden commanded the regiment's Company G during its duty in Tampa, Florida.[14] Later in 1898, Madden took part in action at Santa Clara and Puerto Principe in Cuba.[15] In October 1898, he was assigned to temporary duty as assistant quartermaster and commissary of subsistence aboard USAT McClellan, an army transport ship that moved supplies and soldiers between Cuba and the United States during the United States Military Government in Cuba.[16]
In March 1901, Madden was promoted to captain and assigned as quartermaster officer of the 29th Infantry Regiment when the regiment served in the Philippines during the Philippine–American War.[17][18] Upon his return to the United States, Madden was posted to Fort Sheridan, Illinois.[15] In February 1902, he was a founder of the Order of Santa Clara, an organizations of veterans who took part in Spanish–American War action in Santa Clara and Puerto Principe.[15] By May 1903, he was again serving in the Philippines.[19]

After his temporary duty in San Francisco, Madden returned to Fort Douglas, where in April 1907 he was assigned to command 3rd Battalion, 29th Infantry.[23] In August 1907, Madden returned to the Philippines with the 29th Infantry,[24] and he served there until returning to the United States in August 1909.[25] After his return from the Philippines, Madden was posted to Fort Jay on Governors Island, New York as the 29th Infantry's adjutant.[26]
In late 1911, Madden was assigned as defense counsel during the Governors Island court-martial of Major Frank T. Woodbury, a medical officer who was charged with failing to properly treat a soldier in his care after Second Lieutenant Lloyd Fredendall accused him of negligence.[27][28][29] Woodbury was convicted on two of four charges, and sentenced to a written reprimand, the most lenient punishment available to the judges.[30]
In March 1912, Madden was assigned as judge advocate (prosecutor) for the court-martial of Captain John William Kilbreth, who was accused of failure to pay three minor debts. totaling $22.65 (about $670 in 2022).[31] In addition, he was charged with neglect of duty while serving as artillery inspector and instructor for the National Guards of New York and New Jersey, allegedly for failing to visit units at remote locations beyond the New York City area.[31] Kilbreth was found guilty of disobeying orders for failing to respond to the Adjutant General of the United States Army's inquiries about the debts, and reduced several places on the captain's seniority list, but was not otherwise punished.[32]
In August 1912, Madden was part of a 29th Infantry contingent that marched from Mount Gretna, Pennsylvania to Elmira Town, New York and established a training camp as part of the activities associated with the dedication of an American Revolutionary War-related monument at Newtown Battlefield State Park.[33] As regimental adjutant, one of Madden's additional duties was commanding the 29th Infantry Band.[34] After the band completed its concerts in Elmira, Madden led it to Rochester, New York, where it participated in mid-September ceremonies that commemorated the city's founders by dedicating a plaque in honor of John Mastick, one of Rochester's first settlers.[34][35]
