JOSEPH KREINER. At the present time a resident of North Branch Township, Lapeer
County, where he has a fine farm, our subject was born in Lewis County, N. Y.,
January 21, 1836. He is a son of Hubert and Barbara (Zimmerman) Kreiner. His
parents were from France and came to America in 1831. His father was a farmer by
occupation and our subject was reared upon a farm in the Empire State. He
received but moderate educational advantages, as his parents were in straitened
circumstances. The result of his work was cast into the family treasury until he
was twenty-four years old.

  Mr. Kreiner came to Michigan in his twenty-third year and located in Lapeer
County. He began work in the lumber woods, which he found to be lucrative if
hard. After a stay of about one year in this portion of the country our subject
took up his present place. He found it to be very wild and entirely unimproved.
He cleared and improved the place himself, putting upon it many valuable
additions in the way of buildings and accessories of good farm implements.

  He of whom we write was married in January, 1859, to Miss Caroline Himes of
New York State. Seven children have blessed this union— Hubert, Gregor, Adam,
Frank, Nicholas, William and John P. The family as yet has never been invaded by
death. He has always followed farming for a living and has been very successful
in his efforts. Mr. Kreiner is a Democrat in politics. He has held the office of
Commissioner of Highways for seven years and has also been Constable for two or
three years. Both he and his wife are members of the Catholic Church.
