A. Y. Milam

Arthur Yager Miliam (1889 – March 26, 1956)[1] was a developer and legislator in Florida. A Democrat, he represented Duval County in 1923 and 1925, and was Speaker of the House in 1925.[2][3][4]

He was the son of Bob R. Milam and Lula J. Milam, née Yager.

He was admitted to the U.S. Military Academy in 1907.[5] He was later listed as a non graduate.[6][7]

He was a developer of Davis Shores development on Anastasia Island with his brother R. R. Milam. The project required extensive dredging[8] and faltered as Florida's land boom slowed in the later 1920s.

The Florida archives have a photo of Milam and other members of the 1923 Florida House of Representatives.[9]

He died in Jacksonville, Florida, on March 26, 1956.[3]
