Biography
Born in Tallulah, Louisiana on 10 March 1909, Felton M. Johnston (known to his friends as "Skeeter") grew up in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
After graduating from the University of Mississippi in 1929, Johnston took a position as stenographer for U.S. Senator Pat Harrison. When Harrison assumed chairmanship of the Committee on Finance in 1933, Johnston became an assistant clerk for the committee. A year later, Johnston advanced to clerk, a position he held until 1941. During World War II, Johnston served for two years as congressional liaison officer for the U.S. State Department before enlisting in the army. After the war, Democrat senators elected him their party's secretary. Johnston also served as secretary of the Committee on Platform and Resolution at the Democratic National Conventions in 1948 and 1952.
In 1955, Johnston attained the highest administrative position in the Senate -- Secretary of the Senate. Although past officeholders had wielded tremendous political influence, Johnston rarely took such advantage. Senators and colleagues considered him a congenial, hard worker who paid attention to detail. After retiring in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Johnston to the American Battle Monuments Commission (an independent agency of the federal government which designs, builds, and maintains U.S. military cemeteries and memorials in foreign countries). Johnston's tenure on the commission lasted from 1965 to 1969.
Johnston was a member of the Burning Tree Country Club, the Metropolitan Club, the Alfalfa Club, the Jefferson Island Club, the National Capitol Democratic Club, and several senate staff associations.
Johnston’s wife, Wanda Stippich of Norfolk, Nebraska, passed away in 1972. On 20 April 1973, Johnston died of a heart attack in his Washington home. He was survived by two children: Wanda Wray Chatfield Putnam of Grand Junction, Colorado and Felton M. Johnston Jr. of Washington, DC.

Acquisition Information
Felton M Johnston Jr. and Wanda Wray Chatfield donated their father's papers to the University of Mississippi in 1976-1977. In 2005, they donated a small accretion of material related primarily to U.S. Senator Pat Harrison, including correspondence with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and an original Clifford K. Berryman political cartoon. In 2009, Felton M. Johnston Jr. gave additional documents, photographs, letters, and ephemera to the collection. In 2010, Wanda Putnam donated additional items to her father’s collection. In 2015, Felton M. Johnston Jr. and Wanda Putnam donated the three books listed in the “Separated Materials” note.
Processing Information
Edward M. Walters, University Archivist, coordinated efforts to sort and inventory the collection with the assistance of the family's representative, Edward P. Moore Jr., soon after receipt. Leigh McWhite, Political Papers Archivist, composed the introductory fields in September 2006. During 2006-2007, student assistant Rachel Domm created a folder-level inventory for boxes one through forty which the original finding aid lacked, and Alyson Kennedy completed a rearrangement of the files in February 2008. McWhite processed the 2005, 2009, and 2010 accretions to the collection and updated the finding aid.
Finding aid encoded by Jason Kovari, 29 April 2009; revised July 2010.
