1945 newspaper clipping  probably The Atlanta Constitution 
Athens Church To Honor Memory of Lt. St. John

Memorial services for Lt. A. H. St. John, who was killed on April 30, 1945 in
the battle for Munich, will be conducted at 3:30 p.m. (EWT) today at the First
Methodist church of Athens.

Talks will be given by Dr. Harvey Holland, pastor of the church, the Rev. Claude
Singleton, director of the Wesley Foundation; Dean John E. Drewry, of the
University of Georgia School of Journalism, and Miss Ruby Anderson, of the
Athens High school English faculty.  Miss Katie Griffith will be in charge of
the music. 

Lt. St. John was the son of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. St. John, formerly of Athens and
now residents of 207 Howard street, N. E., and brother of M. L. St. John, a
Constitution editorial staff member.  His wife and daughter make their home in
Hopkinsville, Ky. 

Graduated from the Athens High School and the University of Georgia, where he
received his degree in Journalism in 1943, Lt. St. John was actively interested
in dramatics, debating, religious work, school publications, military
organizations and honorary fraternities.  He was a class officer of the Lumpkin
Law School, president of the Rho chapter of Wesley Players and active in the
North Georgia conference summer assemblies at Oxford and Hartwell. 

A member of the 20th Armored Division of Patton's Third Army, the lieutenant's
tank was named the "Christian Soldier."
