Biographical Sketch of Edward Schreiner, Johnson County, Missouri
Columbus Township
>From "The History of Johnson County, Missouri," 
Kansas City Historical Co. 1881

EDWARD SCHREINER, M.D.,

was born in the state of Georgia.  He removed with his parents to the
city of Philadelphia, and remained there at college until the year 1841.
He graduated at the Jefferson Medical Institute in that city.  When a
young man he emigrated to Johnson county, in the fall of 1842; he
afterward went to Kentucky, and took his degrees in medicine, at the
Kentucky Medical Institute, in the years 1844-45.  He was married in the
spring of 1843, to Miss Emily June Houx, a daughter of one of the early
settlers in Johnson county.  Although the doctor is well advanced in
years, he is still a careful and eager student, keeping up in his
studies with all the new remedies, and learning valuable discoveries in
his profession.  As an instance of his zeal and enterprise in his
business, he took the preliminary step to organize a medical institute
in the county, which, if it had succeeded, would have been of lasting
benefit to the citizens.
