Hilton , New York , a village in the town of Parma , was named after him in 1896 . He was born on July 22 , 1845 in Parsonsfield , Maine , the son of George and Abigail F ( Ricker ) Hilton , and died in Minneapolis , MN on October 24 , 1912 . He was married on April 21 , 1872 in Frankfort , Illinois to Sarah Adelaide Carpenter , the daughter of Josiah and Frances ( Haradon ) Carpenter . She was born on January 21 , 1853 in Frankfort , Illinois and died in Minneapolis , Minnesota on October 8 , 1944 . He first enlisted into the 27th Maine Infantry on September 30 , 1862 , having just turned 17 that summer ( papers say age 18 ) . Following his mustering out in July 1863 , he moved to Lowell , Massachusetts , and was working as a clerk there when he reenlisted twice . He served as a private first in the 6th Massachusetts Infantry for a 100 day service call ( 7 July 1864 to 27 Oct , 1864 ) , followed by his service with the 12th Independent Battery of Massachusetts Light Artillery ( 14 Nov , 1864 - 25 July 1865 ) . During one of these military stints , he became sick with disease , as noted in his biography in the History of Parsonsfield . He filed for a pension immediately after the War , on 20 Oct , 1866 . Beginning in 1868 , Charles entered the ministry as a Free Will Baptist preacher , though having no theological training except for his own self - teaching . In his first year , he was a pastor in nearby Ross Corner ( Shapleigh ) , Maine , but then removed to Frankfort , Illinois . It was during his five years here as a school teacher and minister that he met his wife Sarah and had two of their three children .

By September 1944 , LXIV Corps had established a line of defense in the Vosges Mountains as part of the German Nineteenth Army . The corps , however , was in a weak state , with its two assigned divisions only able to muster some 4 , 250 effectives . By late November 1944 , Allied advances had forced the Nineteenth Army into an area around Colmar , nicknamed the Colmar Pocket . A offensive by French First Army and U . S . XXI Corps troops during January - February , 1945 collapsed the Colmar Pocket , forcing the LXIV Corps to retreat across the Rhine River into Baden . In April 1945 , with the Allies across the Rhine as well , French forces thrust forward on April 18 and seized Tübingen , splitting the LXIV Corps into two parts . Attempts by the corps to reunite its elements failed in the face of Allied strength , and the commander of the corps at that time , General der Artillerie Max Grimmeiss , was found sheltering at a hospital in Konstanz and taken prisoner by the French army on April 26 . Remnants of the LXIV Corps fought alongside other equally tattered remnants of the Nineteenth Army in late April and early May until the unconditional surrender of Germany ended the war in Europe .
