Jacob spent his boyhood in Germany, where he learned the shoemaker’s trade. In 1869 he came to America with his parents and three brothers, Henry, Hilger, and John Greisen, and his sister, Agnes Greisen Gruenther and her husband, Henry Gruenther. His older brothers, Peter and Phillip, had preceded them to this country in 1868. The Greisen and Gruenther families first located in Dane County, near Madison, Wisc., where they farmed for three years before coming to Platte County. Jacob Greisen had gone to Chicago from Dane County, Wisc., to work at his trade as a shoemaker. This was after the big Chicago fire which destroyed the city in 1871. He remained there for one year, and then joined the Greisen family on their way west to Nebraska. Peter Greisen had previously come to Platte County where he homesteaded on Shell Creek. Upon their arrival in Platte County, in 1872 Christian Greisen homesteaded on a farm in Burrows Township. Three of Jacob’s brothers, John, Henry, and Hilger, lived on the farm there, and his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gruenther, lived in Columbus until 1880, when they moved to a farm in St. Bernard Township. During 1872 and 1873, Jacob Greisen was employed by M. T. Kinney, a pioneer shoe merchant, at that time located at 2623 13th Street, later the site of the Central National Bank. G. W. Phillips also worked for Mr. Kinney then. In 1874, Mr. Greisen started his own store, the first location was at 2610 12th Street. From there, he moved to the east side of 26th Avenue, where Buschman’s Store was later located. In 1878, he moved to the south side of 11th Street, west of 25th Avenue. In the early 1880s he bought a frame building on the south side of 11th Street, east of 25th Avenue, and transferred his shoe stock there. In 1893 he moved into the new brick building that he had erected at 2421 11th Street. At that time Jacob Greisen formed a partnership with Mr. G. Frischholz; and they added a line of men’s clothing to the shoe stock. They conducted this store for several years. After the partnership was dissolved, Mr. Greisen continued in the clothing and shoe business in his store building, while Mr. G. Frischholz formed a partnership with his brother, Alois. They conducted a clothing and shoe business farther east on 11th Street under the name of Frischholz Brothers. Jacob Greisen sold his shoe and clothing business to A. Svislowsky in 1919, and retired from active business. Besides his shoe business, he had other business interests. On Jan. 10, 1888, he became a director of the First National Bank, and served in that capacity until 1927. On Jan. 11, 1927, he was elected vice-president of the First National Bank. He was interested in farming, and owned several farms in Platte County, which he bought through the years. On Nov. 27, 1892, in St. Bonaventure Catholic Church in Columbus, Jacob Greisen married Anna Wagner, who was born in Ottawa, Illinois, on December 28, 1865. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Greisen had two daughters, Marie and Kathryn. Marie married John W. Lippstrew. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Lippstrew have one son, James John, born Oct. 30, 1932, in Columbus. He attended St. Bonaventure High School. Mr. Lippstrew is a salesman for the Storz Supply Company, and manager of the local store, at 2303 13th Street. They live in the former Jacob Greisen residence in the Second Ward, at 2220 Ninth Street. Kathryn married W. Lyndal Carter. Mr. and Mrs. W. Lyndal Carter had three daughters. They live in South Pasadena, California. Socially and fraternally, Jacob Greisen was a member of the Maennerchor Society and the Sons of Herman in Columbus, and politically he was a Democrat. He represented the Second Ward for many years as a delegate to both city and county conventions. He served three years, from April 1902, to April 1905, as a member of the City Council.
