Alexander Darnes
Alexander H. Darnes (c.1840 - February 11, 1894) was an African American who was born into slavery in St. Augustine, Florida and became the first black doctor in Jacksonville, Florida. As a youth and young man, he served Edmund Kirby Smith, the son of his master, in Texas with the United States Army, and during the Civil War when Kirby Smith served as a Confederate general.
After the war and emancipation, Darnes gained an education; he earned his undergraduate degree at Lincoln University and earned his medical degree from Howard University in 1880. He was the first black physician in Jacksonville and the second in the state of Florida. In 1888 he served residents during a terrible yellow fever epidemic. He was well respected, an officer of the Freemasons and member of the Mt. Zion AME Church; he had 3,000 people, both black and white, at his funeral.
==Early life and education==
Alexander H. Darnes was born into slavery at the Segui-Kirby Smith House at 12 Aviles Street as the property of the Kirby Smith family. One or both of his parents were slaves of mixed-race, as Darnes showed substantial European ancestry. He is said to be the son of Violet Pinkney, a domestic servant in the household. (Photos held by the St. Augustine Historical Society show Darnes and Edmund Kirby Smith, a son of the family whom he later served as a valet.)〔 In 1855 at about the age of 15, Darnes left the household to serve as personal valet to Smith, who was 16 years older and by then a captain in the United States Army and accompanied him on tours in the western territories. Darnes also served Kirby Smith throughout the Civil War, when the latter fought as a general for the Confederacy.
After the South's defeat and emancipation of slaves, Darnes (with support from a daughter of the Kirby Smith family, Mrs. Lucien Webster), was helped to gain an education. (Mrs. Webster was the widow of a U. S. Army officer, and retained her loyalty to the Union during the war.) After preparatory work, Darnes attended Lincoln University, a historically black college in Pennsylvania. Darnes went to medical school at Howard University, a historically black college founded in Washington, D.C.. He graduated in 1880 with a medical degree.
