Description
An account of the resource
Josephine (Augustine) Kubicek and an older woman sit outside in wooden chairs. The older woman has a bowl of produce in her lap, such as beans or peas. Both women hold their hands over the bowl, working with the produce. A leaf covered tree is directly behind them; a shed, saw horse, fence, and a chicken can be seen past that.
Josephine was the second child of pioneers Justice and Elizabeth Augustine, born in Coralville on February 8, 1858. Her siblings were Katherine (b. 1853), Nettie, Charles, and Mary Elizabeth. In 1882, she married John Kubicek, and the couple had three children: Ezekiel G. (b. 1883), Stella, and a second daughter who died at the age of five.
Josephine died at the age of 89 on March 24, 1947 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 89-90).

Four baskets filled to the brim with corn, apples, beans, and other produce sit outside the Kriz family home. Flowers bloom alongside the side of the house.
Home-grown produce like this was often sold at farmers' markets and local grocery stores. After the harvest season, produce was preserved to last through winter months (Walch, p. 44).
