Author: Luther A. Ingersoll (1908)

    JOHN CHARLES HEMINGWAY, Clerk of Santa Monica, was born in the City of
Chelsea, Suffolk County, Mass., October 19th, 1858, the son of John Hemingway a
farmer. He spent his boyhood in the city of Boston. He attended Trinity College,
Dublin, Ireland. After leaving school he engaged in newspaper work as a reporter
for the local press. Later, for a period of about ten years, he worked as a
reporter on the leading daily papers of Chicago. In 1883 he came to Los Angeles
and accepted a position in the same capacity on the Los Angeles Daily Herald. He
followed journalism in the capacity of news correspondent until April, 1902,
when he was elected City Clerk of Santa Monica. He was re-elected to the same
office April, 1907, under the Freeholders Charter.

    November 10th, 1889, Mr. Hemingway married Miss Emma J. Hayden, a native of
Portland, but from childhood a resident of East Los Angeles. They have one
daughter, E. Mearle.

    Mr. Hemingway is a member of the F. and A. M., I. O. O. F. and B. P. O. E.,
of which latter organization he is Exalted Ruler. Mr. and Mrs. Hemingway are
members of Saint Augustine Episcopal Church of this city.

    Santa Monica has no more popular citizen than J. C. Hemingway and his record
as a public official is beyond reproach.
