Biography

Johns was born in St. Charles, Missouri, to John Jay Johns and Jane Amanda Durfee. He was named after George Champlin Sibley, founder of Lindenwood College. Johns attended Princeton University, where he met Woodrow Wilson. They remained friends for the remainder of Wilson's life. Upon returning to St. Charles, George studied law briefly with his uncle, Theodoric McDearmon. He and his brother, Glover Johns, started a weekly paper, the St. Charles Journal. Later, George went to work for Joseph Pulitzer at the St. Louis Post Dispatch, where he eventually became editor and was known as one of Pulitzer's "Fighting Editors".
