Albion H. Hilliker

The subject of this sketch, Albion H. Hilliker, one of the promising young men 
of his town, is a member of the firm of Bucklin & Hilliker, publishers of The 
Sentinel, a daily and weekly newspaper issued at Morris, Illinois. He has been 
identified with a printing-office since his early boyhood and has occupied his 
present position as one of the publishers of the above named paper for two 
years.

Mr. Hilliker was born in Kankakee, Illinois, January 10, 1870, and received 
his education in the schools of that place, passing through the various school 
grades up to and including the tenth year, each year obtaining high averages 
in his studies. During the first four years of his school life he was neither 
absent nor tardy, and the record of his fifth year was broken only by a three 
weeks illness. Naturally of a quiet and steady disposition and with the 
influence of a Christian mother, he formed correct habits that have 
contributed to his present success. At an early age he became a member of the 
Christian church. He learned the printer’s trade while yet a boy. His first 
knowledge of this trade he picked up in an office owned by the father of one 
of his schoolmates. He held good positions in all of the Kankakee offices, 
remaining in his native town until December 5, 1895, when he came to Morris to 
occupy the position of foreman at the Sentinel office.  September 1, 1897, he, 
in company with G. M. Bucklin, took charge of the plant and on June 1, 1899, 
they purchased it of S. D. Bucklin. Under the present management the paper has 
increased in circulation and has otherwise prospered.

On Wednesday, October 25, 1899, Mr. Hilliker was united in marriage to Miss 
Bertha M. Baum, daughter of the late Henry Baum, Sr., of Morris.
