The sand in the glass of time have run for John Freis seventy-five years. It has been a long life, well and profitably and pleasantly spent. He is one of the veteran florists of Northern Kentucky, and for over half a century has been identified with the operation of an extensive greenhouse plant at Fort Thomas, one that has supplied the choicest quality of flowers to an extensive trade. Mr. Freis was born at Price's Hill in Hamilton County, Ohio, June 27, 1846. His father, Amon Freis, was a native of Alsace, France, born in 1816, and as a young man he came to the United States and settled in Cincinnati, For many years he was engaged in the furniture business in Cincinnati, was married in that city, and about 1836 moved his home to Price's Hill, where he followed truck gardening. He died at Price's Hill in 1880. He was a democrat in politics and a member of the Catholic Church. He was for seven years a soldier in the French army under King Louis Philip, and participated in a campaign in Belgium, His wife was Mary Steiert, who was born in Baden, Germany, in 1818 and died at Cincinnati in 1901, at the age of eighty-three. Their oldest child, Mary, became the wife of Joseph Menninger, and both died in Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. Menninger was a truck gardener there, and later sold his land and retired well to do, the land being now built up as part of Kansas City. Frances, the second daughter, became the wife of Henry Menninger, who during his lifetime was a truck gardener and commission merchant at Cincinnati, and she is still living at Price's Hill. Lena Freis, now of Cincinnati, is the widow of Charles Cook, who was a soldier in the Civil war and afterward for many years a member of the Cincinnati police force and still later in the railroad transfer business. The fourth child and oldest son is John Freis. The youngest, Michael, was a cafe owner and died at Indianapolis at the age of forty-five. John Freis was educated in the public schools of Price's Hill and received a high school training at Storrs Township Hall, now in Cincinnati. Leaving school at the age of fifteen, he served a four year apprenticeship with Mr. Pfeiffer, a florist at Avondale in Cincinnati. During these four years he performed all the work that would give him a complete knowledge of the floral and nursery industry. After his apprenticeship he was for a year foreman of a nursery on the Hayfield farm in Campbell County, Kentucky, for one year was in partnership with his brother-in-law, Henry Menninger, in the ownership and operation of a meat and vegetable market on Pearl Street in Cincinnati, and Mr. Freis then removed to Louisville, where from 1863 to 1866 he was an employe of Henry Nance, and for two years conducted a grocery business on Green Street, between Winchell and Campbell streets, in Louisville. Mr. Freis came to Fort Thomas in 1868. He built a small greenhouse on Highland Avenue and operated his plant at his first location for seven years, after which he bought five acres across the road from his first place, and there built the greenhouses which have produced the high quality of flowers marketed under the Freis name for forty years. While it started in a small way, his capital justified, his business has had a steady growth based on the dependable quality of his production. There are now 45,000 square feet under glass. Mr. Freis still owns the five acres and his modern house on Highland Avenue, owns another dwelling on the same thoroughfare and sixteen additional acres with frontage on Highland Avenue. A number of years ago Mr. Freis retired from the active business management and presented the greenhouse plant to his son, Edward H. Since the death of his son the greenhouses have been operated by Mrs. Edward H. Freis, though John Freis still has the business under his supervision and is the final authority on all technical matters involved in their operation. Mr. Freis is a democrat. For eighteen consecutive years he was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Highland District and for twelve years treasurer of the district. He was a director in the old German National Bank of Newport, now the American National Bank, is a stockholder and bond holder in the Covington and Cincinnati Street Railway Company, a stockholder in the Columbia Gas and Electric Company of Kentucky, a stockholder in the Broadway and Newport Bridge Company, owning the Ohio bridge connecting Newport and Cincinnati, and altogether his many years of industry have brought him a substantial and comfortable fortune. He was formerly a member of the Commercial Club of Newport. Mr. Freis was a contributor to all local drives for funds during the World war. In 1860, at Cincinnati, he married Miss Fannie Pfeiffer, daughter of Anthony and Anna (Lintner) Pfeiffer, now deceased. It was from her father at Avondale, Cincinnati, that Mr. Freis learned the greenhouse and nursery business. To their marriage were born three children: Edward H., the oldest who succeeded his father as active head of the florist business, died at Fort Thomas in April, 1919. He married Miss Hattie Hagadorn, who has capably continued the business management since her husband's death. The second child of Mr. Freis, Caroline, died at the age of six months. The only living child is Anna, wife of Richard N. Bird, and they live with Mr. Freis. Mr. Bird was a chief clerk in the railway mail service at Cincinnati, and on July 1, 1921, was made superintendent of Railway Mail Service of the Fifth Division. ------------------------------ X-Message: #7 Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 10:17:41, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) Subject: ISAAC E.
