He was born in Boston, Massachusetts on October 28, 1936, son of the late Edgar Johns, Sr. and Alice M. Burns. The family moved to Maine and Edgar attended the Bremen one room schoolhouse, and then to Morse High

Edgar continued working as an Insulator for a short while. When he retired from his full time career he worked part time for N. C. Hunt.
