Name James Krein Birth 25 Feb 1825 France Gender Male Death 21 Jan 1892 Dansville, North Dansville, Livingston Co., New York, USA Notes - James Krein received a liberal education and taught school in his
native caton. At the age of twenty-one he emigrated to America, going
first to Rochester,NY, and later to Nunda, where he taught the French
language during the years 1848 and 1849 in exchange for his eduation
in the English language. In 1850 he came to Dansville, and was
employed as a clerk by the firm of Sikes and Wood, remaining with them
in this capacity for some time. He then established himself in the
grocery business, in which he continued successfully until 1876.
During his career as a merchant he struggled manfully against many
discouragements, the greatest of which was the loss of all he
possessed by fire, his store being burned soon after its
establishment. He again started in business, only to again suffer a
second time from the same cause. Persisting, however, in his efforts,
he ultimately became a prosperous merchant, well known and hightly
respected. After his retirement from the grocery business in 1876 he
engaged in the insurance business, which he conducted up to the time
of his death. (Biographical Review of Livingston and Wyoming
