Waterloo Man Spends 37 Years on Job and in One Home
Henry Payne of Waterloo has worked at the Waterloo and Cedar Falls Union Mill since 1881, a 37 year span, and lived in the same house for nearly that long. He moved to Waterloo with his parents from New York State, later working through four company managements as Waterloo grew from a 6000 population frontier village to a city. Production shifted from local wheat to broader shipments, with hopes of renewed local wheat farming aiding future grain needs. Payne resides at 132 Street near Jefferson in Waterloo.
