  John Hilton was born in Woodruff, AZ and moved to Berkeley, CA in his infancy. John grew up in a big city delivering newspapers, riding streetcars, but also spending much time hiking and camping in the Oakland and Berkeley hills which were then a wilderness. The only unexpected part of his childhood was that he couldn't learn to read. He seemed bright enough, absorbed all sorts of information, could understand arithmetic, but could not read. His parents took him for intelligence testing, and the results showed he was capable of college prep high school and college courses. Dyslexia didn't have a name then, but when he was 14 or 15 his mother took him in hand, tutoring him with old fashioned phonics and he learned to read very adequately. John was baptized and advanced normally in the priesthood. He loved primary and Sunday school classes because at church, unlike school, he always knew the answers. He also built a ham radio shack and learned old fashion vacuum tube electronics as a hobby. John received his Eagle Scout award when he was seventeen, a major highlight of his life. After graduating early from high school, John enlisted in the navy and was sent to radar school in Chicago. Eventually he was assigned to a seaplane tender, USS San Carlos, sailed to Panama and patrolled in the Caribbean area. He was seasick most of the time when at sea, and rejoiced when the war was over and he was discharged. The immoral lives of most of his sailor associates made him eager to return to an atmosphere of righteousness and he eagerly enrolled as a freshman at BYU at age 19. It was here he met the lovely Jan Fenn from Gallup, NM. The courtship of John and Jan was cut short by John’s departure to Brazil to serve a full time mission for two and a half years when there was but one mission and 425 partially active members in the entire nation.. With no training Portuguese was not easy to learn. Through hard work and miracles, John learned the language, to love the Brazilian people, and taught the gospel which started the spiritual boom Brazil has today. Meanwhile, Jan was in school and taught first grade the next year at an Indian School. John said that the greatest blessing from his mission was that Jan was still around when he returned. They were married in the Arizona Temple, August 7, 1950. In September they were both in school again at BYU. Jan was a senior and John a sophomore. They worked their way through college and their first child. They moved the Albuquerque where they lived for five years. John worked at Sandia for five years mostly on classified programs but he did publicly receive several patents. In December 1957, John took employment at Aerojet Nucleonics, in San Ramon, CA, and they built a home in Walnut Creek, CA where we lived for thirty years. John worked on the H-Bomb and fusion energy for 12 years and then worked for the Cyclotron Corporation in Berkeley, developing a high energy neutron generator for radiation therapy which was helpful in the treatment of a number of cancers. Perhaps their greatest accomplishment was raising eight righteous children in the Bay Area in the 60's and 70's. All eight were good scholars, many were highly gifted in music, and most importantly all loved the Lord, four served missions and all married in the temple. In 1980 John became intensely interested in a computer study of author attribution called word prints, learning how to do computer programming and statistics as by products. When their youngest child was married in August of 1988, the week of her wedding, they sold their home without putting it on the market, resigned from the school board, and accepted an invitation to come to the Statistics Department at BYU where John worked as an adjunct professor concentrating on word print research, with a primary focus on the Book of Mormon. In this work John was able to show much internal verification in the Book of Mormon as well as many secular writings. During their Provo years John and Jan traveled twice to Mexico and Guatemala doing Book of Mormon geographical research; they also traveled to as tourists to Russia. On March 12, 2000 John unexpectedly died of cardiac arrest; he had been fighting colon cancer prior to that. Jan reported that “Joy was possible only because of the sure knowledge or the resurrection and exaltation in the Kingdom of God.”
