Description
Farm man George Prehoda stands by his open truck cab (Walch, p. 34). The truck bed, made of wooden boards, contains a large pile of corn.
In addition to farming, George Prehoda volunteered as Coralville's first fire chief. When interviewed, he could remember three fires occurring while he was in this position: one at the Carlton house, the second on a spur line on the Rock Island railway, and the third at a garage the fire fighters rented from the Mayor Edward Koser to use as a fire house (Lovetinsky et al., p. 52-53).
