I came across a longer article about Elsie Eiler who is now 91 years of age and owns the Monowi NE tavern. She is the only person in the town for population.
Monowi is where my mother and grandparents (and great-grandparents) lived in Nebraska. They began their journey to live in Oregon in 1934 due to the depression and dust storms. My great-grandparents and some of Gram's family is buried in the Alford Cemetery there. We were able to visit in 2022. We met Elsie and she cooked us one of her hamburgers. She knew some of my family especially the descendants of Olive, Gram's older sister.
There is an interesting story in the Epoch Times. One has to subscribe, free, to read it. A picture I took of the tavern follows.

Anniversary of a Passing

Today is the 10th anniversary of Mom's passing. This was such a difficult day for me and everyone. The story is too sad to share. She will be missed by those of us she touched and loved.
Remembering Mom
The anniversary of my mother’s birth. We all still miss her very much. Too bad she is not here to laugh with us and keep us on the straight and narrow. She would certainly have her thoughts about all the politics and negative discourse between people of different beliefs.
