Henry S. Johnston

1867–1965 (age 98)

Biography

Born in 1867, Henry S. Johnston established himself as a thoughtful jurist and legislative leader in Oklahoma as it emerged from territorial days, advocating for balanced government and steady growth.

His brief tenure as governor during the late 1920s tested his character, but after leaving office he returned to private law practice, mentored young attorneys, and remained a calming presence in civic life, and his memory is honored at Grace Hill Cemetery.
