Waterloo, Iowa, in 1914 was a river city of about 26,000 people spread along the Cedar River in Black Hawk County. Meatpacking anchored its economy, and the Rath Packing Company was among the largest employers in town. Several rail lines served the city, and the Illinois Central kept operations there, so freight moved steadily between the packing houses and farm country. Neighborhoods held many German and Czech immigrant families, and their churches and social clubs shaped daily life alongside the factory shifts. Residents would have known Waterloo as a packing and railroad center on the edge of rich Iowa farmland, where the workday was marked by plant whistles.
