Family moves to Cabanne Place in St. Louis
Poet involved
What happened
When Orrick was six years old, his family — father George Sibley Johns, mother Minnehaha McDearmon, and his brothers — settled into a house on Cabanne Place in St. Louis, Missouri, after several moves around the city during his early childhood.
Literary impact
The stability of the Cabanne Place residence, however brief, provided young Johns with a sense of home and rootedness that contrasts sharply with the displacement that followed his accident. This early experience of place and its sudden loss would inform his poetic explorations of belonging, memory, and the passage of time.
