        ALBERT HAMILTON ST. JOHN is one of the successful representatives of
the real estate business in the City of Jacksonville, where he maintains his
offices in the Herkimer Building, 136 E. Bay Street.
	Mr. St. John was born at Lithonia, DeKalb County, Georgia, April 7, 
1883, and is the fourth in order of birth in a family of six sons, all of whom 
are living except one. He is a son of THOMAS L. and MARY ANN (DAVIS) ST. JOHN, 
both natives of Virginia, where the former was born in 1844 in the latter in 
1854. THOMAS L. ST. JOHN was long and prominently identified with the flour-milling
industry, besides having operated sawmills and having been a successful contractor
and builder. In his home district in Georgia he was the first miller to install in
his mill the modern roller process system, which he later introduced in many other
localities, as a contractor in such installation. He was a staunch democrat, and was
an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, as is also his widow, his
death having occurred in the year 1901.
	The public schools discipline of ALBERT H. ST. JOHN included that of the high
school, and as a youth he became associated with his father in the milling business
and in the equipping of mills with roller process outfits. Later he engaged in the
collecting business at Memphis, Tennessee, and in 1906 he came to Jacksonville,
where he has since developed a substantial and representative real estate business
of general order, the same involving the handling of both city and country
property.
	Mr. St. John is unwavering in his allegiance to the democratic party, and is now
(1922) serving as a member of the City Board of Commissioners of Duval County, a
position to which he was appointed by Governor Hardee in July, 1921, for a term of
two years, and regularly nominated in June, 1922. In the Masonic fraternity his
fundamental affiliation is with the Temple Lodge No. 23, F. and A. M., of which he
is junior warden in 1922, and in the Scottish Rite of the time honored fraternity he
has received the thirty
