FROM "HISTORY OF WYOMING": Dr. Joseph R. Hylton, engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery at Douglas, bases his growing success upon thorough collegiate training and later study and investigation, which keeps him in touch with the trend of modern scientific thought and progress.
A native of Kansas, he was born in Elk county, on the 30th of January, 1883, a son of T. W. and Mattie (Moore) Hylton. He pursued his education in the public and high schools until he had completed the course in the latter and then entered Cotner University at Lincoln, Nebraska. He thus gained a broad literary education to serve as a foundation upon which to rear the superstructure of professional knowledge, and entering Bennett Medical College of Chicago, he pursued the full course there and was graduated with the class of 1906. Thinking to find better business opportunities in the west, he came to Douglas, Wyoming, where he has since been practicing with success. His patrons have constantly increased in number and the nature of his business has constantly grown in importance. He is now serving as city physician.
On the 10th of August, 1909, Dr. Hylton was united in marriage to Miss Ara Davis and their children are: Roy H., Helen L. and Janice. Dr. Hylton finds recreation in rifle shooting, at which he has gained considerable proficiency. His political endorsement is given to the democratic party and he is serving as a member of the state central committee from Converse county. His opinions carry weight in the councils of his party and at all times he keeps in touch with the trend of political thought. Fraternally he is a Mason of high rank, having attained the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite in the Consistory, and he is also a Noble of the Mystic Shrine. He belongs to the Commercial Club and cooperates in all that has to do with the welfare and improvement of Douglas. Along professional lines his connection is with the Wyoming State Medical Society and the American Medical Association, and thus he keeps thoroughly informed concerning the latest discoveries and theories of the profession. He went to the Mexican border as captain of the medical corps of the Wyoming Infantry in the summer of 1916 and he is now assigned to duty as major of the ordnance department, with the state troops of Wyoming. He is a young man of pronounced ability, broad-minded and public-spirited, having made for himself a creditable position in professional ranks, while he has become a recognized leader in democratic circles and in other connections which have much to do with shaping public thought and action.
