ALLEN J. HYLTON, M. D., has been engaged in the practice of his profession nearly thirty years and his service has included his supervision of several important institutions, in Indiana and in other states of the Union. He is, now engaged in general private practice in the City of Mooresville and is distinctly one of the able and representative physicians and surgeons of Morgan County.

Doctor Hylton was born in Hendricks County, Indiana, in the year 1862, and is a son of Abraham and Minerva (Powers) Hylton, the former of whom was born in North Carolina, and the latter of whom was a daughter of Allen Powers, who came from North Carolina and became a pioneer farmer in Indiana, where he passed the remainder of his life. Abraham Hylton became a stationary engineer by vocation, and both he and his wife were still young at the time of their death.

Doctor Hylton was an infant at the time of the death of his parents, and was taken into the home of William Conn, a substantial farmer near Danville, Hendricks County, where he was reared to the age of fifteen years, he having assisted in the work of the farm during the summer seasons and having attended the local schools during the winter terms. His ambition for higher education was not to be denied, and in obtaining the same he depended mainly upon his own resources. At the age of twenty-one years he was graduated in the Indiana State Normal School at Danville, and for three years thereafter he was a teacher in the Indiana State Reformatory at Plainfield, he having then been advanced to the position of assistant superintendent of the institution and having retained his executive office seven years. In 1894 he assumed the position of superintendent of the Montana State Reformatory, at Miles City, and he held this position until 1897, when he returned to Indiana and in its capital city completed a course in the Medical College of Indiana. From this institution he received in 1901 his degree of Doctor of Medicine, and he then engaged in the practice of his profession at Mooresville. In 1905 he went to Colorado, where he served fourteen months as superintendent of the Telluride Hospital, and he then resumed his residence at Mooresville, Indiana, where he has since continued in the active general practice of his profession, that practice having a scope and importance that testify to the high popular estimate placed upon him. The Doctor has his office at 43 West Main Street, and his home at 63 West Main Street.

The death of Mrs. Hylton occurred in the year 1927, and she is survived by one child, William Madison, who was born in 1909.
