John Allen Midgett Jr. was a senior enlisted member of first the United States Lifesaving Service, and later the United States Coast Guard. Midgett grew up on Cape Hatteras, on the outer banks of the North Carolina coast, and like his father, and other family members, he enlisted in the Lifesaving Service in 1898. Midgett remained in command of a Lifesaving Station when the United States Revenue Cutter Service, the United States Lighthouse Service merged with the Lifesaving Service to form the Coast Guard in 1915.
