About Henry S. Johnston

  • Henry Simpson Johnston (December 30, 1867 – January 7, 1965) was an American lawyer and politician who served as a delegate to the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention, the first President pro tempore of the Oklahoma Senate, and the seventh governor of Oklahoma.
  • He would become the second governor in Oklahoma history to be impeached and removed from office. As governor, Johnston successfully proposed the establishment of a crippled children's hospital and a large increase to school aid funds.
  • His trouble began with complaints about his private secretary holding too much power and making executive decisions that he should be making.
  • After an unsuccessful and unconstitutional special session to impeach the governor in 1927, a new group of state lawmakers impeached the governor in 1929. Johnston died in 1965 and is buried in Perry, Oklahoma.
