History of Manistee, Mason & Oceana Counties, Michigan
H. R. Page & Co., Chicago - 1882

         [pg 66]
         
       HENRY S. HILTON, proprietor of the Manistee Times, is one of
     the oldest newspaper publishers in the state. He was born in 
     Fredonia, N.Y., in the year 1832. When about thirteen years of 
     age he commenced work at the case, in a newspaper office in 
     Randolph, N.Y. His first experience as a newspaper publisher 
     was at Sheboygan, Wis., as publisher of the Sheboygan Lake 
     Journal. He came to Michigan in the Spring of 1856, and started 
     what is now the Clinton Republican, which he published for about 
     twenty-five years. He was clerk of the lower house of the Michi-
     gan Legislature for two years, and register of deeds for Clinton
     County from 1874 to 1880. Last June he purchased the Manistee
     Times of MR. APP. M. SMITH, and settled with his family in this
     city. MR. HILTON is a thorough newspaper man, and from his long 
     experience is perfectly familiar with all parts of the business. 
     He has always been a zealous and active Republican, and is a man 
     of culture and ripe experience in public affairs.
