Holman Waitt and the Cattle Business
"My mother originated from Connecticut, and the family moved to Sergeant's Bluffs. My Grandfather ran a hotel there in Sergeant's Bluffs. Father was making guns when the war was over in the early days, when he ran away from home and came to Sergeant's Bluffs. That's where they met father. She used to write her people back in Connecticut how the Indians would come up and look in the window. She'd write back and tell her people back in Connecticut how they liked the Indians. Father was making guns when the war was over, and came to Council Bluffs, and came to Sergeant's Bluffs. That's where he stayed until he went over to help build the railroad around Wisner, Nebraska and from there he went to Wakefield."

"Well, my husband before we were married had the Ye Olde Tavern Sandwich Shop. It was just a sandwich shop at that time. We were married in 1941 and he had two children at that time. Then we started remodeling after our family started to grow. We needed income and the sandwich shop was not adequate . We were thinking of buying another restaurant to expand. We talked it over and decided that we owned the ground and we would concentrate all our efforts on one locality rather than expand."
