Arthur Yager Milam (October 26, 1889 – March 26, 1956)[1] was an American developer and politician in the state of Florida. He was a member of the Florida House of Representatives between 1923 and 1925, becoming the Speaker of the House in 1925.
Milam was born on October 16, 1889, in Leesburg, Florida. He was the son of Bob R. Milam and Lula J. Milam (née Yager). He graduated from Duval County High School and received a bachelor of science degree from John B. Stetson University in 1912.[2] He was admitted to the U.S. Military Academy in 1907.[3] He was later listed as a non graduate.[4][5]
He was a developer of Davis Shores development on Anastasia Island with his brother R. R. Milam. The project required extensive dredging[6] and faltered as Florida's land boom slowed in the later 1920s. A Democrat, he represented Duval County in the Florida House of Representatives in 1923 and 1925, and was Speaker of the House in 1925.[7][8][9]
