| J. Clark Hildinger - 1947 |
John Clark Hildinger was born in Trenton, New Jersey on 24 Sep 1916 to Charles Clark Hildinger and Helen Beatrice (Dunn) Hildinger. Young Clark was born into Trenton royalty, his father the owner of a string of motion picture houses and who was known as the “nickel king.” His father died in 1931 and his mother stepped into his shoes. After his mother’s death in 1960 Clark took over the reins of the family business.
Clark Hildinger was a veteran of World War II. He left the family business in April 1942 entering the U.S. Army as a private at Fort Dix. In March 1943 he was promoted to Corporal.
