Henry Metzger spent his childhood and youth on a farm on the Comfort Highway, five miles from Fredericksburg.

In 1921 he married and assumed the principalship at Converse and held it until 1950; then he bought a home in San Antonio and was employed as a teacher by the Edgewood Independent School District.
