Joseph Hamilton Huston was a well-known, old-time circus man.  He was a remarkable person who had a hand in developing some of the greatest show-business enterprises of his time.  He moved with his family from Anderson to Winchester in 1879. His parents were the proprietors of the Huston Hotel which stood where the Overmyer Mould Company now stands.  When a troupe of wandering show people were stranded at the hotel, Huston, then around 17 or 18, became fascinated by them.  He took his company on the road and helped develop the Gentry Dog and Pony Show, one of the most famous of it's kind.
