“IT HAPPENED IN SPRINGFIELD HISTORY”

Old Henry

Old Henry with Springfield High class sponsor, Mr. Holbein

Henry Morris was Springfield’s original “hippie”. Known to all as Old Henry, he lived in a cave southwest of town. He became disillusioned with life in general and was sure civilization was doomed. He ate what he could hunt or what neighbors gave him. Now and then he got a meal at a farmhouse or if that was not enough, he helped himself to food in gardens or fields. People came from Omaha, Lincoln, and miles around to see how he lived and to talk to him. It was a yearly event for classes from Springfield High School to visit Old Henry.
