About Cecil E. Johnson
Lived 1888 – 1955 (aged 66–67).
Cecil E. Johnson (July 26, 1888 – April 19, 1955) was chief justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court from 1933 to 1936.
Born in Lockesburg, Arkansas, Johnson gained admission to the bar in 1909 and entered the private practice of law. In 1922, he was elected Chancellor of the Sixth Chancery District of Arkansas. Johnson was appointed to the seat vacated by the death of Chief Justice Jesse C. Hart, and was re-elected to the seat in 1934. His bid for reelection in 1936 failed, and he was defeated by Griffin Smith, who succeeded Johnson in office in 1937.
