        SHERMAN BRYAN JENNINGS. In the person of SHERMAN BRYAN JENNINGS, who
has been engaged in the practice of law at Jacksonville since 1916, is linked
the Florida of the past and the present. Although born at Brooksville, Hernando
County, Florida, his entire professional life has been passed at Jacksonville,
where he has been a part of its progressive life. Although engaged in
professional work of a general character, he has been led by the logic of
events which follow in the wake of a rapidly developing city to give much of
his attention to commercial and real estate transactions.
	Mr. Jennings was born November 11, 1893, and is a son of the late Hon. 
WILLIAM S. and MARY (MANN) JENNINGS. His father, a native of Walnut Hill, 
Illinois, was one of the leading figures in the public life of the state for 
many years and at one time was governor of Florida. He died in 1920. Mrs. 
Jennings, a native of Centerville, New Jersey, survives. The only child of his 
parents, SHERMAN B. JENNINGS received his early education at Brooksville, 
following which he pursued a literary course at Stetson University, from which 
he was graduated in 1915, and then prosecuted his legal studies in the law 
department of the same institution, receiving his degree of Bachelor of Laws in 
1916. In 1920 the honorary degree of Master of Arts was conferred upon him by 
his alma mater. Mr. Jennings began practice at Jacksonville in 1916 and has 
made rapid strides in his calling. He maintains offices in the Dyal Upchurch 
Building, and is a member of the Duval County Bar Association and the Florida 
State Bar Association. Mr. Jennings belongs to the Jacksonville Real Estate 
Board, of which he was formally president, the Jacksonville Country Club and 
the Alpha Delta and Phi Kappa Delta fraternities, and is a trustee of John B. 
Stetson University of DeLand, Florida. His religious connection is with the
Baptist Church.
	On July 2, 1918, Mr. Jennings was united in marriage with Miss DOROTHY
BROWN, who was born at Atlanta, Georgia, the first of the three children of
GEORGE E. and LELIA BROWN, natives of New York State. Three children have been
born to this union: LELIA MAY, SHERMAN BRYAN, Jr., and DOROTHY, the latter two
being twins.
