This guy Philander Chase Johnson lived from 1866 to 1939 so he preceded Lazarus as far as I remember.
Maybe Heilein borrowed from him. Johnson was decribed as “an American journalist, humorist, poet, lyricist, and dramatic editor.”
Some of his works include
Sayings of Uncle Eben (1896)
Now-A-Day Poems (1900)
Songs Of The G. O. P. (1900)
Senator Sorghum’s primer of politics (1906)
No use kickin’ (1909)
In the tall timber : an opera bluffe (1912)
Somewhere In France Is the Lily (1917)
There’s a Call for You and Me, Carry On (1918)
Isn’t that an entry in the Notebooks of Lazarus Long?

Sounds a little like a Heinlein character.
