Notes for Josefine Kubista

General Note
Some say Josefina came to the USA with her father in 1871 at the age of 16. She told Anna she met Frank after they immigrated. ( Told by Otilla Peckacek) Another story is that they married in Bohemia in 1878 immigrating to the USA in 1880.

Obituary from Oatonna Journal, January 7,1937
