George John was born on November 10, 1844 in New York City, New York, United States, the son of Michael J. Seabury and Agnes Z. (Calender) Seabury. His family had been represented in America prior to the Revolution.
George John Seabury received his early education in the public schools of New York City, and then turned to higher studies in chemistry, pharmacy, and medicine.
At the close of the war he resumed his professional studies and spent some time in Europe, especially at the Universities of Gottingen and Heidelberg, where he became interested in the discoveries of Sir Joseph Lister in antiseptics and the applications of the germ theory.
During the Civil War Seabury served in the 12th New York Volunteer Regiment, and was wounded at Gaines's Mill and Malvern Hill during the Peninsular campaign in 1862.
On his return to the United States, he founded and became president and sole owner of the firm of Seabury and Johnson. He was chairman of the section on commercial interestsof the American Pharmaceutical Association from 1894 to 1896 and for five terms held a similar relation to the committee on the status of pharmacists in the army, the navy, and the public health and marine hospital service of the United States. He became president of the New York State Pharmaceutical Association in 1895. He was also a member of the New York College of Pharmacy and a large contributor to its building fund.
Always an ardent champion of the cause of the retail druggist in maintaining fair retail prices, he wrote voluminously on that subject, and on many public questions as well. Many of his articles were published collectively in his book Shall Pharmacists Become Tradesmen (1899).
His interest in military affairs continued throughout his life and he was long a member of the famous "Old Guard" of New York City. He did much towards promoting rifle practice in the National Guard and served as honorary secretary and director of the National Rifle Association. In 1909 he served as a presidential elector for Taft and Sherman. He died at his home in New York City.
George John Seabury founded the firm of Seabury and Johnson, pioneers in the manufacture of plasters and surgical dressings. He was one of the founders of the New York State Pharmaceutical Association.
