Henry Speeth

Henry Q. Speeth (born March 23, 1946 in Cleveland, Ohio, died December 25, 2003 in Cleveland, Ohio) was the son of an American politician who served as a Cuyahoga County Commissioner in the 1950s. In 1958, as a Commissioner, the county assumed control of Cleveland City Hospital from the City of Cleveland to create a county-wide hospital system.

Henry Q. was an anti-war activist during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 1970s. Through the 1990s and into the 2000s, he could best be described as a landowner/landlord/freelance philosopher. He leaves behind dozens of folks who knew him a lot or a little (depending on who they are), but all were touched by his unique take on the cards life deals and his personality.

A street is not named after Henry Q. Speeth rather Henry Speeth senior. Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood located off of Fulton Road between Bridge and Franklin Avenues.
