  John Hugh Hilton was born in Salt Lake City on November 17, 1857. His father, Hugh, was absent at the time because of an assignment to ride with Lot Smith in their efforts to inhibit the progress of Johnston's army. After an arrangement had been made with The Army all the Saints moved from Salt Lake to Lehi and John Hugh, at age five months, was among that group. They continued to reside in Lehi until John was about five years old. At that time they were called to move to Utah's "Dixie" and establish a new community on the Virgin River. The purpose of this calling was to raise cotton, and this effort came to be known as the "Cotton Mission". John had only a limited chance at an education. School was held only during the winter months. The people were poor because of pioneering in this far-off land. The teachers, except those residing locally, were paid in farm produce. Also they "boarded round" with the families who had children in school. His entire schooling occupied not more than eight or ten months altogether. Furnishings in the schools were very crude. Benches and tables were made of rough lumber, without backrests and with pegs for legs. Students bought their own books, pencil, slates, etc. They raised all the fruit they used, and even sold some. They raised sugar cane and had molasses made at one of the molasses mills, paying for it with some of the cane. They also raised cotton and his mother made it into cloth. She would card, spin, and dye it, and make clothes for the family. They also had chickens, hogs and cows. They had two city lots and a farm of about eight acres. They had pickets of cedar and pole fences around their home and farm. They had to haul their drinking water in a barrel on a sled from the Virgin River, some 300 yards from their home. He remembers as a boy, when his father had built a one roomed log house, that a large sack of hard sugar was stored in the tent and he used to sneak in and break pieces off to eat. As a small boy, John’s work consisted of helping on the farm, riding after the stock and herding sheep, and when older he worked on the ditch and mill race, built and owned by his father and Alexander Wright. They had built a flour mill soon after going to Virgin City. His father also had a cotton gin and some cattle. At 15 years of age, since his father's health began to fail and he was the oldest at home, he had to do much of the work, especially with the cattle. His father died in 1873, and his mother in 1875. The older brother Charles died two weeks before his mother. The future looked very dark to the three orphan boys who were left alone. The Parker family was called to Dixie about the same time the Hiltons were. John Parker and Maria Jackson Normington Parker had one daughter, Maria. She was married at nineteen to John Hugh in the Saint George Temple. John was away, riding the range for the Kolob herd, much of the time until he was married. His occupation interfered rather seriously with his being regular in attendance or service, but he tried to attend to his duties when possible. After he was married, he went upon call to some of the nearby wards to do missionary work. He usually went with some of the older men; he did not make very long sermons but tried to give them something worth thinking about. He was often called upon to sing at parties and sometimes sang duets with his brother Joseph's wife, Nellie. John Hugh made his living by farming and tending cattle; he had many adventures as a cowboy. He had many talents and participated in singing and drama and had a great sense of humor which helped lift the spirits during those early pioneering days. He was known as an expert horseman with an uncanny ability with the lariat. His father owned quite a few cattle, and almost from the time when he was big enough he went out, especially in the spring and summer, to ride after cattle. After the Kolob herd was organized, he was hired to ride for cattle. The high mountain range was above and immediately north of Zion's Canyon. He was later made superintendent. When the organization broke up, various individuals drew out their shares of cattle and sold them to buyers who came in from Colorado and California. Some of the cattle could not be gathered because of the roughness of the country, and consequently became very wild. These naturally reduced the profits of the organization. After the organization dissolved, they paid all stockholders off in the cattle that could be gathered. John and his brother-in-law Richard bid in auction for the brand and got it. They gathered quite a few of these wild cattle, sold as many as they could and let the rest go. He had many very thrilling and dangerous experiences during his life as a cowboy. These cattle were very fleet of foot, good runners, and would fight at the drop of the hat, as the saying goes. They always carried a long lasso, and it takes practice and experience to know how to use one-and more so when on a horse. Their roping was always done while in the saddle, and the horn used for snubbing. A number of horses were hooked and crippled by these cattle. They all had long, sharp horns, and they knew how to use them. One day they had roped and tied down a number of cattle on Smith's flats, and they would bring down a bunch of gentle cattle around to where they were tied, untie them and stop them up with the gentle ones. A bad cow, mad as she could be, was there. John had her tail between her hind legs, and Richard was untying her. Richard was going to put his rope on her legs and go to his horse and hold her until John could get on his horse. But just as he had everything loose the cow made a lunge and the whole bush of her tail broke off. The cow sprang to her feet and she came after Richard. About a hundred yards away was a very small bushy cedar. He made for that and the cow was right at his heels. When he reached the little cedar, he went round and round, and the cow following. John ran for his horse and delivered him as he was about all in. Another time John and Richard were trying to corral a bunch of wild cattle. Richard had his rope and a big, wild, sharp-horned steer. The cinch of his saddle was quite loose, and he couldn't handle the steer-the steer stopped and appeared to be standing with his eyes shut. Just at the time he had the saddle uncinched, and it was impossible for him to get back on the horse, the steer opened his eyes and made for him. He left my horse and ran with the steer close at his heels. He could feel his horns rubbing on his back when he came to a little gully about the size of a plow furrow. He plunged into it full length, with the steer bellowing and trying to get his horns into him. His fears were that he would be trampled on, but as this was going on John Hilton came around a point and saw the situation. He came with all speed, picked up his rope which he had on the steer and put it to his saddle horn and pulled the steer away from his friend. Another time John and Richard were chasing a big, black steer. The steer made for a dry wash. It had ledges on both sides and a narrow crevice through the ledge where the trail went through. Just before the steer entered this opening John threw his rope and caught him and put it to the horn. John, by this time, was close to the ledge about eight or ten feet high, and the steer running down a steep mountain, and the rope tightened and John and the horse were pulled over the ledge. Richard was expecting to see John and the horse both killed, but to his surprise John was sitting on his horse and neither were hurt, but the steer, rope and all, continued on down the mountainside. They got the steer and rope in the round up a day or two later. John often amused his children by reciting the thrilling experiences through which he passed. He would often "sing them to sleep" when they were little. He farmed, tended cattle, carried the mail from Rockville to Silver Reef for four years, etc, but the river had washed away so much of their land that it seemed necessary to move to a new home where they could have more opportunity to make a living for their large family. They sold their home for $1,000, taking pay in cattle, a white topped buggy, and $25.00 in cash. They moved to Abraham, in Millard County, Utah. Richard Parker and his family went with them. They bought a lot in the newly surveyed town-site at Abraham and bargained for a 40-acre farm some two miles distant. At first they continued to live in their covered wagon and one room they rented. They also purchased a tent. They were the first family to move onto the new townsite, where they lived in their tent and wagon until their new brick home was completed with a low loft. Many of their cattle died from eating poison weeds, and most of the others were lost in the heavy winters and from the effects of winters and from the effects of eating the poor salt grass where they ranged them on the lower Sevier river. These were real pioneering years, and they experienced many hardships and discouragements. He tried to do his duty, and work hard, and be honest. They were blessed in many ways. He always paid a full tithing and kept his word as good as his bond. In 1910 they built a four-room brick house in Hinckley and moved from Abraham after ten difficult years there, trying to cope with pests, weeds, adverse weather, and finally alkali. Also, educational opportunities would be much better in Hinckley since the Church had just started to build a new Academy there. Because of trouble with hay fever, he was not able to live in his home in Hinckley for some years, so he went to Salt Lake, where he worked in the Temple. He also lived in California for several years and in Mesa, where he also worked in the Temple, and on March 2, 1934, was married to Caroline Blair. In 1936 they moved to Salt Lake, and in 1938 to Fillmore.
