        ALEXANDER DUNCAN McNEILL. High rank in the legal profession has long 
distinguished Jacksonville, and it numbers among its members many men whose 
achievements have gained for them state-wide prominence. Among the ambitious, 
alert and enterprising attorneys who have taken advantage of the manifold
opportunities offered in this city for advancement is ALEXANDER DUNCAN McNEILL.
	He was born at Fayetteville, North Carolina, August 18, 1882, a son of
ALEXANDER DUNCAN and SUSAN (BELL) McNEILL, natives of Cumberland County, North
Carolina.
	Growing up in his native state, Mr. McNeill attended the public
schools, a local Academy and the University of North Carolina. His legal
training was secured at the John B. Stetson University, and he was graduated
from its legal department in 1908, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws.
	Locating at Jacksonville, he has since been engaged in general practice.
	In February, 1918, Mr. McNeill was appointed state attorney for the
Fourth Judicial Circuit of Florida, to fill the vacancy in that office caused
by the death of the former state attorney, and in the democratic primary of
May, 1918, he was nominated to said office for the term, ending June, 1921.
	During his term as state attorney he conducted the business of this
office on a high plane, in an efficient manner and with great credit to
himself. In this office he rendered the people of his circuit and of the state
many notable and much appreciative services.
	In addition to his law practice, Mr. McNeill is associated in business
with his brothers D. R. McNEILL and JOHN A. McNEILL, in the naval stores
producing business and orange growing.
	Professionally he maintains membership with the Duval County Bar
Association and the Florida State Bar Association.
