Barbara (Brunner) Greim, widow of Nicholas Greim, is one of Johnson
county's pioneer women.  She was born in Germany December 27, 1837.
When she was 15 years of age she emigrated from Germany with relatives
and came to America.  They located in Illinois and there Mrs. Greim 
remained about four years.  March 18, 1858, Nicholas Greim and Barbara
Brunner were united in marriage near Springfield, Illinois in Sangamon
county.  In the spring of 1859, they came to Missouri and settled in
Warrensburg township, locating first on a farm northeast of Warrensburg
and later moving to a farm southeast of the old town.  In 1901 they 
purchased 30 acres of land located one half miles south of Warrensburg.

now resides.  During the Civil War, Mr. and Mrs. Greim lost practically
all they had by depradations from the enemy.  At one time Mr. Greim was
in Lexington, Mo., securing provisions for the family when his team and
wagon were confiscated.  Nicholas Greim died October 31, 1906 and his
remains were interred in the cemetery at the Dunkard church southeast
