Amid a photo shoot of those who had to work on holidays [Labor Day] was this picture of Robert E. Harris who was free to spend time on the golf course. He's seen here along 4th St. SW in the 900 block. The brick building behind the golfer and his caddy was built in 1950. On the left side is the Waverly Bowl Inn. On the right is Farmer's Implement, the John Deere dealer, owned by Emil Roloff. The John Deere business moved further south on 218 on 1964.
The address in 1950 was #917 sometime it was changed and is currently [2025] #919. Also the golf course currently begins a little bit south of the area in this photo.
Additional photographs and resources can be found at the Waverly Public Library on the local and family history page http://www.waverlyia.com/public-library/research/local-and-family-history-collection.aspx Accession No. 91N0708.
