The Village of Hilton saved funds for quite a while to refurbish the four-faced Victorian-style clock in the center of Hovey Square, but even that was not quite enough. Mayor Joe Lee procured three major donations to complete the refurbishing process. Donations came from the Hilton-Parma-Hamlin Chamber of Commerce, Hilton Family Restaurant in honor of Tommy and Maria Strebenis, and Thomas E. Burger Funeral Home in honor of the many families who have been served since 1976.
A bronze plaque was installed to commemorate this renovation process and the donations that made it possible. A dedication ceremony and ribbon cutting was held Wednesday, August 8.
The clock was originally unveiled and gifted to the Village of Hilton on September 19, 1998 by John D. Klock in honor of his grandfather John E. Cooper.
