In Response To: Re: Greef family (Sonya)

I do have some information about the Greef family for you. I
have been in touch with 4th generation Greef family members.

Adolphus Greef was married to Johanna Maria Stein, they immigrated from
Prussia. Their children were Marie Koch (who, by the way, married her
half-brother William Stein), Herman Frederick (who married Rosalia
Pfeiffer), Emily (who married Karl Wilhelm Pfeiffer, the brother of
Rosalia), Juliana (who died at 2 years old), and Julius (who married
Catherine Kline, an adopted child of the Mason family).

Herman and Rosalia were married in St. Louis, Missouri in 1850. Their
children were Emily, Charles Edward, Rosina, Otto, Frederick W., Albert H.,
George, and Maude. All were born in Bentonsport, Iowa.

Charles Edward married Eda Day, and after Eda died he married Susie
Hill.

Herman built the Greef General Store in Bentonsport in 1851. It was so
successful that he added on to it twice. When his brother, Julius, joined
him in 1855, it was renamed "Greef and Brother". Then Julius started the
Bank. Isaac Pergrin joined them in 1870. Herman died in 1876 and his son,
Frederick, joined the family business.
